CNN Rehires Brian Stelter to Lead 'Reliable Sources' Newsletter

Stelter Returns to CNN After Nine-Month Hiatus

CNN has announced the rehiring of Brian Stelter to lead its "Reliable Sources" newsletter. Stelter previously hosted the CNN show of the same name for nine years before departing in August 2022.

In his new role, Stelter will oversee the "Reliable Sources" newsletter, which provides analysis and commentary on the media industry. He will also make regular appearances on CNN's television and digital platforms.

Stelter's Return Signals CNN's Commitment to Media Coverage

Stelter's rehiring is a sign of CNN's continued commitment to covering the media industry. "Reliable Sources" has been a staple of CNN's programming for decades, and Stelter is considered one of the leading experts on the media.

His return is also likely to be welcomed by viewers who have missed his insights and analysis. Stelter is known for his fair and balanced approach to media criticism, and he is not afraid to hold both sides accountable.

Stelter's Departure and Return

Stelter's departure from CNN in August 2022 came as a surprise to many. At the time, CNN said that the decision was made as part of a broader restructuring of the network.

However, there was speculation that Stelter's departure was due to his criticism of CNN's coverage of former President Donald Trump. Stelter had repeatedly criticized CNN for giving Trump too much airtime and for not being tough enough on his false claims.

Stelter's return to CNN suggests that the network is now more open to criticism of its coverage. It also suggests that CNN believes that Stelter is a valuable asset to the network.

Stelter's Role in the Media Industry

Stelter is a respected figure in the media industry. He has been a media reporter for more than 20 years, and he has written extensively about the industry.

In addition to his work at CNN, Stelter is also a regular contributor to The New York Times and The Atlantic. He is also the author of the book "Hoax: Donald Trump, Fox News, and the Dangerous Distortion of Truth."

Stelter's return to CNN is likely to be welcomed by both viewers and the media industry.
