CNN Worldwide president Jeff Zucker said Wednesday that he is resigning, effective immediately.
Zucker said in a memo, “As part of the investigation into Chris Cuomo’s tenure at CNN, I was asked about a consensual relationship with my closest colleague, someone I have worked with for more than 20 years. I acknowledged the relationship evolved in recent years. I was required to disclose it when it began but I didn’t. I was wrong. As a result, I am resigning today.”
In addition to overseeing CNN — including its international and digital platforms, as well as cable news channel HLN — Zucker served as chairman of parent company Warner Media’s news and sports division, a role he took on in March 2019.
