Christiane Amanpour to leave CNN after 43 years [WATCH]
NEW YORK: Veteran journalist Christiane Amanpour said on Monday that she was leaving her role at CNN after a 43-year career as one of the US broadcaster’s most prominent international correspondents.
Veteran journalist Christiane Amanpour announced on Monday that she is leaving her role at CNN after a 43-year career, citing the need for personal and professional independence. The 68-year-old journalist, known for her relentless commitment to unbiased reporting, expressed her gratitude to CNN and her anticipation of new opportunities.
The decision comes amid concerns over the recently completed merger between Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. Discovery, potentially impacting CNN's autonomy. Born in Britain, Amanpour rose to prominence with her coverage of the 1991 Gulf War and has since interviewed numerous world leaders and newsmakers, including her presence in conflict zones such as Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Balkans.
