CNNs Brooke Baldwin announced on the airwaves on Tuesday that she will be leaving the network in April.
Baldwin, who joined CNN in 2008, made the announcement at the top of the 3 p.m. hour, reflecting on her years of work at CNN and the support she received when she was sick with Covid last year.
“I am so grateful for your loyalty and passion for the world we cover and so grateful to my show team, you know who you are,” said Baldwin. “To Jeff Sugar, to my very large CNN family, and to you. To you. The next chapter of life will focus on what I enjoy most about my job, enhancing the lives of extraordinary Americans, and putting my passion for storytelling to good use. “
She told viewers that there is “more I need to do outside of this place, beyond the walls of this place, a place that I’ve called home for 13 years now.”
“Yeah, we’re still in a pandemic,” Baldwin said, “and no, I don’t have a job I jump right into. And yes, yes, I feel very vulnerable. But what is it Brené Brown says? Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change. And I’m so excited about what’s to come. “
