Brian Steinberg Senior TV Editor Oliver Darcy, the author of CNN‘s influential “Reliable Sources” newsletter, has left the Warner Bros.
Discovery-backed outlet, leaving the direction of the company’s media-industry franchise in doubt. A new newsletter from Darcy, called “Status,” landed in email inboxes Thursday morning. “Drawing on a deep well of sourcing and industry expertise, ‘Status’ delivers hard-hitting reporting and unflinching analysis on the Fourth Estate, Hollywood, and Silicon Valley,” Darcy wrote in an email delivered via the Beehive platform “There will be no sugarcoating, no pulling punches, no sparing sensitive egos — just the unvarnished truth about the companies and individuals who shape our world.” He said the newsletter would be published Sunday through Thursday.
Neither CNN nor Darcy responded immediately to a query seeking comment, but a person familiar with the matter said the journalist had left the news network and indicated that next steps for “Reliable Sources” were not immediately clear. “Reliable Sources” was once one of CNN’s bedrock programs, a show that ran for 30 years on Sunday mornings and took a critical look at how the media handled issues, usually mostly tied to the Washington news cycle.
Bernard Kalb initially anchored the program, then Howard Kurtz. In 2013, CNN hired Brian Stelter, a entrepreneurial media reporter who parlayed a blog he created that examined the TV news industry into a media-beat job at the New York Times, to lead the show.
