Brian Stelter Departs CNN

Former Chief Media Correspondent Leaves Network

Long-running Program 'Reliable Sources' Canceled

Brian Stelter, CNN's former chief media correspondent, has left the network after executives canceled his Sunday program, "Reliable Sources."

Stelter's departure comes after a period of declining viewership for "Reliable Sources," which had been a staple of CNN's Sunday lineup for 30 years. The program examined the media industry and its impact on society.

Stelter's exit is part of a broader shakeup at CNN, which is seeking to cut costs and refocus its programming. The network has also recently canceled other programs, including "CNN Newsroom" and "Cuomo Prime Time."

Stelter, who joined CNN in 2013, is known for his sharp analysis of the media and his ability to break news stories. He has been a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump and his allies, and has frequently clashed with conservative media outlets.

It is unclear what Stelter's next move will be, but he is expected to remain in the media industry. He has been praised by colleagues and peers for his work, and is widely considered to be one of the most respected journalists in the field.
