CNN announced on Wednesday that its chairman and CEO Chris Licht is leaving the media conglomerate after a tumultuous year on the job. While searching for a replacement, CNN will be led by a trio of CNN veterans: Amy Entelis, its executive vice president of talent and content development; Virginia Moseley, its executive vice president of editorial; and Eric Sherling, executive vice president of U.S. programming. With a two-thirds female leadership triad, CNN joins every other major U.S. news organization as being woman-led. Just 22% of the top editors at major news outlets worldwide are women, a recent University of Oxford study found, despite the fact that 40% of journalists in the 12 major news markets are women. In the three years Tritton helmed the retail giant, its stock price plummeted almost 50%.
