SAN FRANCISCO, January 17, (THEWILL) – Jim Clancy has announced his departure from cable news channel CNN after 34 years with the network.
Clancy’s unceremonious departure from CNN is coming days after he was engaged in a heated twitter debate over the terror killings at the Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris, France.
In a memo to his colleagues at CNN posted online, Clancy did not share the reason for his departure.
He said: “After nearly 34 years with Cable News Network, the time has come to say Farewell!
It has been my honor to work alongside all of you for all of these years. This is one of the greatest news organizations in the world. It has truly revolutionized information delivery while driving technological advances in how we gather the news.
Through it all, CNN has been a family to my own family. That means something.
As I reflect on all of the great adventures and achievements of the past, I wish you great success in the future.”
CNN has also confirmed Clancy’s exit.
