After more than 20 years at CNN, including two separate stints, Stephanie Elam has announced she’s exiting the network.
Elam has worked as a Los Angeles-based correspondent for the network. She spent time from 2003 to 2011 with the network before exiting. She returned in 2013 and has remained since.
In a post on social media, Elam shared her appreciation for the network and the time she spent at CNN.
“For more than 20 years I’ve been in the CNN orbit developing and delivering news stories on everything from the environment and entertainment to business and breaking news of all kinds,” she said.
“I’m so proud of my CNN career,” she continued. “Live or taped, writing packages or doing a show-and-tell, I’ve done it all, and having a front row seat to document history has been a gift.”
Elam has yet to announce what her next move will be.
“Stephanie brought clarity, credibility, and heart to every story she touched over her two decades at CNN. Her versatility and natural ability to connect with audiences made her a trusted voice and a valued colleague,” CNN said in a statement confirming the news. “We are grateful for her many contributions and wish her continued success in her next chapter.”
Elam becomes the latest to announce their exit from the company. Last month, early morning anchor Rahel Solomon also departed the network.
