CNN’s Digital Pivot, Inauguration Insights, and Tales from a Photojournalist
Update: 2025-01-23
Description
This week, Jenna and Dom discuss CNN's latest shake-up: the network is laying off about 200 traditional TV jobs while planning to add 100 digital positions by mid-year. Is it enough to save the once-dominant cable news network?
Then, they explore why documenting historic moments, like presidential inaugurations, are so important to telling our nation's story.
Plus, veteran news photographer Todd Maisel takes us behind the lens of breaking news. From documenting 9/11 to dodging mob threats, Todd shares incredible stories from his decades on New York's streets and beyond. He opens up about what it really takes to capture history as it unfolds, and how the rise of smartphones and AI is changing the game for photojournalists.
