Fadil Berisha Paula Reid is laying down the law at CNN.
The Warner Bros. Discovery-backed outlet’s chief legal affairs correspondent has decided to leave ahead of an expected takeover of the news giant by Paramount Skydance, according to a person familiar with the matter. Reid had the option to renew her contract, but chose to depart, this person says.
Reid could not be reached for immediate comment Tuesday evening. Status, a newsletter about the media industry, previously reported on her planned exit from CNN. CNN did not respond immediately to a query seeking comment.
