Brooke Baldwin, who has been with CNN for 16 years, will be leaving the network in April, reports Poynter.
She says:
“The next chapter of my life will be focused on what I love the most about my work: amplifying the lives of extraordinary Americans.
“There is just more I need to do — outside the walls of this place, a place I have been privileged to call home for 13 years. Yep, we’re still in a pandemic. No, I don’t have a job I’m jumping right into. Yes, I’m feeling very vulnerable.”
Additionally, Baldwin has been working on a book for the past two years. The book titled “Huddle: How Women Unlock Their Collective Power” is set to come out in April and will be published by HarperCollins.
In her announcement, she praised and thanked CNN, including CNN president Jeff Zucker:
“For a decade I’ve never taken for granted the enormous responsibility and privilege I’ve had to work with some of the most talented producers and photojournalists and correspondents and anchors out there as we have covered our era’s most urgent and important stories, conflicts, terrorism, environmental and natural disasters, the wrath of gun violence, royal weddings, my American Woman series, the social justice movements that define our culture and a pandemic that changed the world and politics — lots of politics.”
Baldwin has also anchored a two-hour midday show since 2016 for CNN.
