Can I Get an Amen?
/New CNN boss Chris Licht has the one hell of a task of trying to right-the-CNN-ship after Jeff Zucker sailed it straight into an iceberg and stood by while it sank.
There is no way that Licht can undo all the crap that Zucker had done to the cable news net overnight.
But, I am impressed with some of his early moves.
I think many Journalists will shout “hallelujah” with his latest move.
Starting Thursday, Licht says that CNN has added a "Breaking News” guideline to its stylebook, to address overuse of the breaking news banner across its network and cable news writ-large.
“We are truth-tellers, focused on informing, not alarming our viewers,” he said in the note obtained by Axios. "You’ve already seen far less of the 'Breaking News' banner across our programming."
"It has become such a fixture on every channel and network that its impact has become lost on the audience,” Licht added.
