New report says Stephanie Elam is leaving CNN
Recent reports indicate that Stephanie Elam, a veteran correspondent who has worked with CNN for over two decades across separate stints, is leaving the network.
In recent years, Elam served as a Los Angeles-based correspondent. She has not publicly stated her next move or future plans in her social media remarks.
“For more than 20 years, I’ve been in the CNN orbit developing and delivering news stories on everything from the environment and entertainment to business and breaking news of all kinds,” Elam said (via Variety), “I’m so proud of my CNN career. Live or taped, writing packages or doing a show-and-tell, I’ve done it all — and having a front row seat to document history has been a gift.”
She previously worked as a business news correspondent for CNN in New York, where she also reported for HLN and CNN International. She also worked for several years at KNBC before returning to the channel.
Her second tenure at CNN included coverage of multiple major events around the world.
“Stephanie brought clarity, credibility, and heart to every story she touched over her two decades at CNN. Her versatility and natural ability to connect with audiences made her a trusted voice and a valued colleague,” the channel said in a statement following her departure. “We are grateful for her many contributions and wish her continued success in her next chapter.”
Elam is expected to share more details about her next steps in the future.
