Les employés de Cnn craignent que l’accord Paramount nuise au journalisme

Les employés de Cnn expriment de vives inquiétudes face à la décision de Warner Bros. Discovery de conclure un accord avec Paramount Skydance plutôt qu’avec Netflix, craignant que cela ne compromette le journalisme indépendant de la chaîne. Les salariés se disent dévastés et redoutent l’influence potentielle de la gestion de Paramount sur Cbs News. Ce revirement fait suite au retrait de Netflix d’un accord préalable, jugé inférieur par Warner à l’offre révisée de Paramount.

Warner Bros. Discovery a renoncé à son projet de vendre ses actifs de streaming et de studios à Netflix, préférant empaqueter l’ensemble de l’entreprise pour Paramount Skydance. Ce changement a amplifié les craintes parmi les employés de Cnn, qui considèrent Paramount comme un gestionnaire instable du journalisme en se basant sur sa gestion de Cbs News. Trois sources proches de la chaîne rapportent une angoisse palpable, l’une affirmant que les employés sont « dévastés » et une autre notant que « personne n’est content ».
