Brian Stelter will take over as host of “Reliable Sources” and will serve as CNN’s senior media correspondent, the news network said Tuesday
The New York Times media reporter will leave his job at the newspaper where he has worked since 2007.
The Sunday morning look at the week in news-gathering has not had a permanent host since Howie Kurtz left the network for Fox News earlier this year. Instead, a string of guest hosts such as NPR’s Eric Deggans, Politico’s Patrick Gavin and Stelter have pinch-hit.
His departure is another high-profile departure for the Times, which recently saw technology columnist David Pogue depart for Yahoo! and lost numbers cruncher Nate Silver and his blog FiveThirtyEight to Grantland.
