CNN Set to Cut ‘Dozens’ of Jobs: Will Layoffs Impact Anderson Cooper, Jake Tapper & More?

CNN plans to lay off a few dozen employees this week as part of a digital overhaul led by CEO Mark Thompson, focusing on growth areas and moving away from its cable roots.

CNN contributor Kara Swisher has expressed concerns about the impact of the acquisition on journalistic integrity and stated she would leave the network if the deal goes through.
