Paula Reid, a reporter for CNN, has reportedly informed the network of her intention to leave upon the expiration of her current contract. This decision comes as Paramount's $111 billion acquisition of CNN's parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery, approaches completion. The merger has raised concerns about potential editorial changes at CNN, which has faced criticism from former President Trump. Reid, who joined CNN in 2021 as the chief legal affairs correspondent, has expressed discomfort regarding the acquisition and the uncertainty it brings to the network's future. CNN executives attempted to retain Reid but could not provide assurances about the impact of the new ownership on editorial coverage. Reid previously worked for CBS for over a decade and had notable interactions with Trump during her tenure there. She is the first major correspondent to announce her departure ahead of the merger, although other contributors have indicated they may also leave. A spokesperson for CNN declined to comment on Reid's reported exit.
