CNN Chief Media Correspondent Brian Stelter will host a daily version of Reliable sources for CNN+, the next subscription service slated to debut this spring.
Reliable sources every day will examine the world of media, politics and entertainment, as Stelter has done in its weekly CNN Sunday show, podcast and daily newsletter. Stelter also appears frequently on air on CNN to provide updates on the latest breaking news in media and politics.
Stelter will join a number of other network personalities who will have shows on CNN+, including Don Lemon, Wolf Blitzer, Anderson Cooper and Jake Tapper.
Stelter wrote in his newsletter on Wednesday, “I’m personally thrilled because there are so many fascinating stories to cover through a media lens. Sometimes the best vehicle is Sunday’s flagship “Reliable Sources,” a unique part of CNN’s weekend schedule for 30 years. Other times it’s an in-depth podcast or a special edition of this newsletter, two of the ways we’ve grown the “Reliable” brand in recent years. Now ‘Reliable Sources Daily’ is the ultimate extension. I prepare to bring you media news in this new way, while continuing to see you on the Sunday show and throughout the week here in this letter.
In 2020, Stelter published HOAX: Donald Trump, Fox News and the Dangerous Distortion of Truth, about the workings of Rupert Murdoch’s media empire and his relationship with Donald Trump. Stelter is also a consulting producer on Apple The morning showinspired by his book Top of the Morning: Inside the cutthroat world of Morning TV. He became the host of Reliable sources in 2013, when he joined CNN.
