Jeff Zucker

CNN President Jeff Zucker has joined the chorus asking tech and ad firms to help monetize news on mobile platforms. “Otherwise, good journalism will go away,” Zucker said in Barcelona.

CNN boss Jeff Zucker has called upon advertisers and tech firms to help find new way to monetize news content on mobile platforms, and on authorities to pay closer attention to the power wielded by Google and Facebook, as news providers try to adapt to the changing digital landscape.

CNN is shooting down reports that its president Jeff Zucker is a candidate to run the Walt Disney Co.’s ESPN. Disney has been looking for a new top executive to run the beleaguered sports media giant since the sudden departure of John Skipper, who left the company Dec. 18 to deal with a drug addiction.

AT&T is standing behind CNN leader Jeff Zucker in the face of President Trump’s constant criticism of the news channel’s coverage — and as Trump’s Department of Justice now decides whether to allow AT&T to buy CNN parent Time Warner.

The good news is that the network’s future overlords are publicly supporting Jeff Zucker. But what will things look like in a year?

CNN chief Jeff Zucker didn’t mention Donald Trump’s name or utter the phrase “fake news,” but he devoted a sizable part of his Giants of Broadcasting acceptance speech Wednesday to emphasizing the cable news network’s plan to hold firm amid a constant barrage from the White House.

President Trump, in a series of denunciations of CNN and a video depicting him wrestling it, is “trying to bully us,” said its president, Jeffrey Zucker. The president’s denunciations — in stinging tweets and slashing speeches, in phrases like “fraud news” and “garbage journalism” — have far outstripped his criticisms of other prominent news outlets. And his attacks have spawned a cottage industry of Trump supporters who have declared a digital war of sorts against CNN, including gotcha videos of network employees and threatening messages sent to anchors’ cellphones.

AT&T will look to “neutralize” CNN President Jeff Zucker after it buys Time Warner, the New York Post is reporting. The buzz from the telecommunications giant comes as CNN is being slammed for highly publicized missteps — including botched reports tied to the federal probe of possible collusion between President Trump’s campaign and Russia, according to three sources familiar with the thinking of AT&T brass.

CNN chief Jeff Zucker says the level of threats faced by his journalists is more serious than people realize and he lays the blame squarely at the feet of President Donald Trump and other politicians he says try to delegitimize the press. Zucker called it “unconscionable and dangerous and they should know better.”

Inside the strange symbiosis between Jeff Zucker and the president he helped create.

President Trump has some harsh words for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Saturday Night Live’s Alec Baldwin and CNN Worldwide President Jeff Zucker during an interview with Fox News’ Jesse Watters that will air on Saturday night.

Amid his feud with the president, CNN chief Jeff Zucker is taking his battle for TV news dominance online with a monthly audience of 100 million and a strategy to beat Vice and BuzzFeed, move stars like Anthony Bourdain and W. Kamau Bell to the web, and launch Casey Neistat, the vlog star he hired on the advice of his teen son.

What could possibly persuade Jeff Zucker to exit his current job as boss of CNN Worldwide? A bid for New York mayor, perhaps? One source suggests Zucker has been reaching out to Gov. Cuomo’s advisers to see if it might be feasible. “It is 10 times 100 percent not true,” Zucker responds.

CNN Worldwide President Jeff Zucker said Monday the network will consider making scripted feature films as it seeks to diversify its content.

Jeff Zucker has endured cancer, Hollywood and being TV’s wunderkind. so why not take on CNN?

early two years after taking over one of the most prominent news brands, Jeff Zucker is still trying to define CNN’s place in a world of unlimited, real-time information.

CNN chief Jeff Zucker recently shared not so encouraging words with some of the news operation’s employees, many of whom have been bracing for potential jobs cuts. “We are going to do less and have to do it with less,” Zucker said during a call-in to a news meeting last week. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution recently received a partial transcript of the call from a Turner employee who asked not to be identified.

After almost a year of tinkering, CNN Worldwide President Jeff Zucker has concluded that a news channel cannot subsist on news alone. So he’s planning much broader changes for the network — including a primetime shakeup that’s likely to make CNN traditionalists cringe.

Jeff Zucker, president of CNN, speaking at Fortune‘s Brainstorm Tech conference: “We don’t care what screen you are watching CNN on, as long as you can see the red logo on whatever screen you are using to access us. And to us, mobile is probably the most important part of our future, but digital as a whole is where we’re concentrating everything.”

Over the course of Barry Diller’s long career, he has jumped from movies to television, to cable and finally to the Web. Now he is backing a company, Aereo Inc., that wants to sell access to broadcast television on the Web — though a digital antenna — for a fraction of what cable charges. Broadcast networks, claiming copyright infringement, oppose what Aereo is doing. Some cable executives, including CNN Worldwide President Jeff Zucker, don’t exactly approve, either. Both men sat down to talk about Aereo, CNN and the future of television and the Web.

The NBC veteran is trying everything to shift a faded network into a higher gear. He’s come into his new job like a man rummaging through the contents of a cluttered attic. His moves haven’t done much yet to goose the network’s woebegone ratings. They have, however, simultaneously invigorated and terrified its employees.
