Thompson&#8217;s remarks, shared by network senior media reporter Oliver Darcy, highlighted \u200cboth optimism and reservations about CNN&#8217;s\u2062 future.<\/p>\n<p>Thompson acknowledged the dedication of CNN \u200bemployees who still believe in the network&#8217;s\u200c mission\u200d and the \u2062importance of \u2064trustworthy news in\u200d today&#8217;s world. \u200bHowever, \u200dhe emphasized the need for CNN to adapt to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/new-cnn-ceo-tells-employees-the-company-is-nowhere-near-ready-for-the-future-on-his-first-day\/\" title=\"New CNN CEO admits company's unpreparedness for the future on day one.\">changing news consumption \u200chabits<\/a> and \u200bfocus on success\u200d in an era where television viewership is declining.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;From now on, we\u200c must be committed to\u200c presenting news in whatever form,\u200c in \u2062whatever product, makes \u200cthe\u200b most sense\u2064 for audiences today,&#8221; Thompson stated. \u200b&#8221;Conventional TV will remain critical, but it can no longer define us. It&#8217;s \u200cone platform in a growing portfolio of platforms.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Thompson also acknowledged\u2063 that CNN&#8217;s digital products are lagging behind the current state of the art and\u200d expressed his determination to change that. He emphasized the importance \u200cof reporting facts and vowed that CNN would follow the news wherever it leads, regardless of political affiliations.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s cover political news \u200dproportionately and fairly, but not be frightened by \u2062our own shadows,&#8221; Thompson urged. &#8220;We do\u200c need to pick \u2062up\u2064 the pace now if we want CNN\u2064 to\u200c be one of the winners\u200c in \u200cthis era of \u2064news.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>CNN has faced challenges in attracting viewers in recent\u200d years, with \u200cchanges in leadership and\u200d lineup failing to resonate with audiences. Thompson&#8217;s \u2063appointment as CEO marks a new chapter for the \u200dnetwork, as he aims to steer CNN towards \u200ca more successful future.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>A Note\u200b from Our Deputy Managing Editor:<\/h3>\n<p><em><b>What if you woke up one\u2062 morning and half of the\u2064 people you\u2062 count on had just vanished overnight?<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>That happened to \u2064me recently.
