[PAGESIX] Following the announcement Wednesday that CNN...formerly the
Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
head Chris Licht is out of the company after an embarrassing profile in the Atlantic, Page Six hears that big shots of the PR team who let it happen are also on their way out.
A source tells us that network execs are cleaning house in the communications department, which oversaw the article that laid bare everything from Licht’s distaste for its journalists’ work under the previous boss to his workout routine.
We hear that senior vice president of communications Matt Dornic — who made several appearances in the article "Inside the Meltdown at CNN" as an "omnipresent" figure and is described as "a mainstay of Licht’s small entourage" — has been given the boot.
He was with the company since 2011.
Another source tells us that EVP and global head of communications and marketing Kris Coratti Kelly was cleaning out her desk last night.
