His latest career move highlights a shift towards independent media as traditional networks grapple with declining ratings and the rise of digital platforms.
Chris Wallace, a seasoned journalist with an extensive career spanning ABC, NBC, and Fox News, is leaving CNN.
Wallace’s decision comes after careful consideration with his wife, as he plans to explore the growing trend of independent platforms, such as streaming or podcasting, which he sees as the future direction of media.
At 77, he remains energetic and driven, with no plans to retire, pro-left news site Politico informs.
Instead, he seeks more autonomy over his content and wishes to continue delivering interviews and political analysis without partisan bias.
Wallace joined CNN to be a key figure for the now-defunct CNN+ streaming service in 2021.
Despite the service’s brief lifespan, Wallace maintained positive sentiments about his time at CNN, insisting the split was amicable.
“I have nothing but positive things to say. CNN has been very good to me,” Wallace expressed.
The network thanked him for his dedication and wished him well in his future endeavors.
“Chris Wallace is one of the most respected political journalists in the news business with a unique track record across radio, print, broadcast television, cable television, and streaming,” CNN CEO Mark Thompson stated.
Wallace’s media expertise is widely acknowledged, and his forward-thinking approach to the media landscape provides a roadmap for others in the industry.
His shows, “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?” and “The Chris Wallace Show,” which have aired on CNN, are set to conclude soon as he finalizes his duties by the year’s end.
Wallace’s departure arrives at a challenging time for the network, facing declining television ratings as viewers increasingly gravitate towards digital media.
Wallace’s interest in independent content creation parallels these shifts.
Wallace acknowledged the unpredictability of his future career path.
Embracing new possibilities, he remains open to opportunities beyond traditional media frameworks.
“Not knowing is part of the challenge,” Wallace remarked.
Moreover, his decision is driven by a desire for innovation, recognizing that “when I look at the media landscape right now, the people who are going independent, whether it’s podcasting or streaming, that seems to be where the action is.”
