CNN Pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr has told fellow employee she will depart the network when her contract ends.
CNN Media reporter Oliver Darcy tweeted that Starr told colleagues she would be leaving in the coming days. “I have made the decision to move on,” Darcy quoted Starr.
She has worked at the network for 21 years, after previously working at ABC News and Jane’s Defence Weekly magazine and Business Week.
Her exit coincides with CNN trimming it’s staff, both on-air and behind the scenes, under the direction of new CNN CEO Chris Licht.
Starr has made headlines in recent years for clashes with Pentagon officials. She also was reportedly the subject of the Department of Justice under former President Trump secretly obtaining her email and phone records in 2020.
