The new bosses at CNN are aiming to hire a top digital media executive with a reputation for “responsible” spending as they pursue budget-tightening measures. Discovery posted a job listing for an “executive vice president & chief digital officer” for CNN Digital that would be responsible for leading its website as well as mobile and OTT streaming efforts. WarnerBros Discovery CEO David Zaslav and new CNN President Chris Licht are leading a management shakeup at CNN. As The Post reported in April, staffers feared a potential “bloodbath” of layoffs and cuts following WarnerMedia’s merger with Discovery. Rebecca Kutler, the senior vice president and head of programming for the now-defunct streaming service CNN+, became the latest noteworthy departure this week.
