哈娜·米勒报道，曾任《纽约时报》公司高管的马克·汤普森目前负责运营华纳兄弟探索公司旗下的CNN。在其母公司被派拉蒙斯基当公司收购后，汤普森已被要求继续留任，掌管该新闻网络。
By Hannah Miller Mark Thompson, the former New York Times Co. executive who has been running Warner Bros. Discovery Inc.’s CNN, has been asked to stay in his role overseeing the news network after its parent company is acquired by Paramount Skydance Corp.
据知情人士透露，派拉蒙首席执行官大卫·埃里森已要求汤普森在合并完成后继续留任，双方正在讨论为他制定一份新合同；他目前的合同将于明年到期。该知情人士因谈判内容尚属私密而要求匿名。《华尔街日报》周四早些时候报道了汤普森的留任情况。CNN未立即回应置评请求。
Paramount Chief Executive Officer David Ellison asked Thompson to stay onfollowing the merger, and they are discussing a new contract for the executive, whose deal expires next year, according to person familiar with the discussions who asked not to be identified because the talks were private. The Wall Street Journal reported on Thompson’s status earlier on Thursday. CNN didn’t immediately respond for requests for comment.
派拉蒙正以1100亿美元收购华纳兄弟，交易将在未来数周带来多项管理层变动。交易完成后，派拉蒙旗下的CBS新闻部门与CNN这两家主要新闻机构将归同一所有者所有。交易预计将于10月6日完成。
Paramount is acquiring Warner Bros. in a $110 billion deal that will result in numerous management changes over the next few weeks. The deal will place two major news organizations, Paramount’s CBS News division and CNN, under the same ownership. The transaction is expected to close on Oct. 6.
汤普森的未来此前一直是纽约媒体界讨论的话题。他目前担任CNN全球频道首席执行官。
Thompson’s future had been the subject of debate in New York media circles. He presently serves as CEO of CNN Worldwide.
埃里森去年任命记者巴里·韦斯为CBS新闻总编辑。作为派拉蒙与一组州检察长达成的反垄断和解协议的一部分，这两家新闻机构将由一个尚未成立的独立编辑委员会负责监督。
Ellison last year named journalist Bari Weiss as editor-in-chief of CBS News. The two news outlets will be overseen by a yet-to-be-formed independent editorial board as part of an antitrust settlement Paramount reached with a group of state attorneys general.
