Paula Reid is laying down the law at CNN.
The Warner Bros. Discovery-backed outlet’s chief legal affairs correspondent has decided to leave ahead of an expected takeover of the news giant by Paramount Skydance, according to a person familiar with the matter. Reid had the option to renew her contract, but chose to exit, according to two people familiar with the matter, citing some of the uncertainty of continuing to work at CNN as it faces a new future under different corporate management.
Status, a newsletter about the media industry, previously reported on her planned exit from CNN. CNN declined to comment on Reid’s departure.
