Oliver Darcy leaves CNN as network restructuring continues

By and 08/08/2024 | updated 1 year ago

The man behind CNN’s Reliable Sources newsletter has left the network.

Oliver Darcy, who also served as the outlet’s senior media reporter, joined CNN in 2017. He primarily focused on stories related to the media and technology.

Upon the news of his departure, Darcy announced plans for his own venture, a subscription-based newsletter called Status. It is described as “the new, definitive nightly briefing that informs readers about what is really happening in the corridors of media power,” according to a statement on its website.

(function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:11095963150525286,size:[0, 0],id:”ld-2426-4417″});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src=”//cdn2.lockerdomecdn.com/_js/ajs.js”;j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,”script”,”ld-ajs”);

Users can access basic information for free. Those who want more in-depth access and analysis will have to pay either $149 for the “all access” subscription or $595 for the “founder’s club” access, with emails sent out Sundays through Thursdays.

“He has been a great shepherd of CNN’s Reliable Sources newsletter, and we wish him every success in his new entrepreneurial adventure,” CNN CEO Mark Thompson said in a statement. The network’s newsletter is expected to relaunch later this year.

For 30 years, Reliable Sources was also a television program that ran on the network Sunday mornings. It was initially anchored by Bernard Kalb, followed by Howard Kurtz, who since 2013 has been the host of Media Buzz on Fox News. Brian Stelter served as host until he left the network in 2022 upon cancellation of the program.
