@patrickbetdavid: Since when does CNBC calling out CNN? This is why I trust capitalism. CNBC's OTT Peacock is kicking CNN+ tail. Peacock has 9 million PAID customer & CNN+ only 10k. It's that simple. CNBC is dominating CNN! Good for them. https://twitter.com/...

@carnage4life: CNN spending $300M to create a streaming service that has less than 10,000 daily users is tragic. Netflix & Disney+ envy is going to hurt a lot of broadcasters. Going from making money licensing content to being a service provider is a very different biz https://www.cnbc.com/...

RELATED:
Sara Fischer / Axios:

Discussion:
Sara Fischer / @sarafischer: NEW: Initial investment in @CNNplus was ~$1 billion over 4 yrs — Much of that expected to be cut — ~$300m spent so far — CNN, w help from McKinsey, originally forecasted ~ 2m subs in 1st yr & 15-18m after 4 yrs — Plan was to break even after 4 yrs https://www.axios.com/...
Alex Sherman / CNBC: Warner Bros Discovery's David Zaslav has charmed the Hollywood elite — now he'll have to show he can manage them, too

A.J. Katz / TVNewser: Reports: CNN+ Off to Slow Start, and Resources Expected to Be ‘Dramatically Reduced’
Parker Molloy / @parkermolloy: Where are they spending the marketing $? I haven't seen many ads for it. But also, I feel like maybe they just overestimated the demand for a standalone CNN streaming service? https://www.axios.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Scott Nover / @scottnover: CNN+ thinks it's getting 18 million subscribers in four years? https://twitter.com/...
Rich Greenfield / @richlightshed: Wondering how @CNNplus investment factors into $WBD initial forecasts — maybe a write-down to clean up this mess quickly and move on is best? https://twitter.com/...
Matthew Belloni / @mattbelloni: Anyone surprised that the Discovery people are gutting CNN+ has never talked to anyone at Discovery (or watched a Discovery network). https://www.axios.com/...
Tae Kim / @firstadopter: CNN+ has decent content, but it's confounding how they launched it without no. 1 OTT platform Roku (belated Roku app release yesterday) and without a separate app on smartphones. Adding a tab to the news app wasn't going to cut it. What was McKinsey's digital strategy advice?🧐 https://twitter.com/...
Justin Baragona / @justinbaragona: “Fewer than 10,000 people are using CNN+ on a daily basis two weeks into its existence, according to people familiar with the matter.” The fact that sources inside CNN are sharing these numbers shows that the knives are out! https://www.cnbc.com/...
Corey Pein / @coreypein: 18 million CNN streaming subscribers in 4 years? This tells me frustrated journalists should become consultants, because if you call yourself that, people will apparently believe anything you tell them. https://twitter.com/...
Matthew Chapman / @fawfulfan: I called it from day one that CNN+ would be a flop. They simply don't have any original programming that is worth the subscription price. People aren't going to pay $6 a month for slightly more in-depth analysis of stories CNN already broadcasts as part of their existing hookup. https://twitter.com/...
Danny Gold / @dgisserious: Unsurprising. Has any news outlet launched a successful streaming platform? Complete lack of originality in programming. https://twitter.com/...

Foster / @foster_type: I am really, really not saying this to be snarky: I honestly wonder who thought CNN+ was a good idea that people wanted? I assume they did market research but it seems like they just fundamentally don't understand who watches CNN, in what settings, and why. https://twitter.com/...
Chris Evans / @notcapnamerica: They don't do any market research before launching these things? No one asked for this https://www.axios.com/...
Gabriel Roth / @gabrielroth: It's crazy that stories about CNN+ don't mention the surprising fact that a CNN+ subscription doesn't let you watch CNN. It's all bonus content for the CNN superfans! https://twitter.com/...

Andrew Prokop / @awprokop: Looking forward to the deep dive reports on decision-making around CNN Plus https://www.axios.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Josh Barro / @jbarro: Yeah, I would like investments in news to succeed, but I didn't understand at all why the CNN+ model is supposed to work. Streaming-first services rely on the ability to interest people in a library of old content along with new. That doesn't work with news. https://twitter.com/...

Discussion:
@meredithdclark: Honestly, I'm heartbroken. Beyond my quotes here, I don't know what else to say. https://www.niemanlab.org/...
@hanaatameez: Unacceptable that some NEWS LEADERS refused to participate in a diversity survey with: “We're not participating in your woke diversity exercises, you snowflakes.” “What am I supposed to do, check between the legs of everyone who works for me?” https://www.niemanlab.org/...
@niemanlab: “Transparency and doing the digging and the reporting — all of that is so germane to what we understand journalism to be. And we are absolutely unwilling to do it among ourselves.” Newsrooms are still not sharing stats for @NewsLeaders diversity survey: https://www.niemanlab.org/...
Amanda Zamora / @amzam: Let me get this straight. Newsrooms (yet again) fail to report diversity data b/c: — @washingtonpost @nytimes are doing their own thing — too burdensome — bad email list (great resignation?) — “we're not participating in your woke diversity exercises” https://www.niemanlab.org/...
Kat Stafford / @kat__stafford: This needs more attention. Newsrooms across the nation pledged change in the wake of the 2020 “racial reckoning.” Yet, here we are: The NLA initially hoped to have 2,500 news orgs participate in the industry's largest diversity survey. Just 303 responded. https://www.niemanlab.org/...
J. Nathan Matias / @natematias: How much do news organizations care about diversity, despite what they say when hiring? Decades after the American Society of News Editors pledged to achieve demographic parity among staff, only 303 out of 2,500 bothered to even answer a survey about their data. https://twitter.com/...
Cristina Silva / @cristymsilva: one newsroom sent a response along the lines of, “We're not participating in your woke diversity exercises, you snowflakes.” https://www.niemanlab.org/... via @NiemanLab
Karen K. Ho / @karenkho: This article summarizes the biggest reason why I stopped doing media reporting. I was tired of learning even more about the extent of continued inequality and discrimination in an industry that seeks to hold others accountable. https://twitter.com/...
Steven Rich / @dataeditor: it's incredibly embarrassing how non-transparent the folks who run many news orgs are while they're reporters repeatedly cover others for the same shit https://twitter.com/...
Dr. Anita Varma / @anitawrites: The pushback in survey feedback alone sounds like a qualitative study we need - that would go hand in hand with @HanaaTameez's investigation into 2020 “reckoning” hires (1/3) https://twitter.com/...
@blackamazon: Remember what I said about supporting black women's work ? And showing up versus just talking . And how everything got announced and Black women are leaving y'all @meredithdclark been doing this for DECADES And STILL as soon as folks stopped supporting IT EVAPORATED https://twitter.com/...
Andrea Grimes / @andreagrimes: When I conducted the Texas Writers Byline Scan (https://andreagrimes.substack.com/ ...), a key to making it possible to collect enough data for the report was that I was contacting individual journalists, not relying on newsroom/publication buy-in. It's hell out there. https://twitter.com/...
Susan Gonzalez / @thenewsan: “The two-year long ‘pause’ to retool the survey didn't help. Pushing the deadline to participate back again & again didn't work. Historic protests & an industry-wide conversation about race and representation did not spontaneously prompt many more news organizations to respond.” https://twitter.com/...
Sarah Kaplan / @sarahkaplan48: It's deeply frustrating and disappointing, if not surprising, that @washingtonpost & many other newsrooms refuse to participate in the @NewsLeaders diversity survey. How can we hold others accountable if we don't embrace accountability for ourselves? https://www.niemanlab.org/...
Adriana Lacy / @adriana_lacy: Yet again, newsrooms aren't showing up to the industry's largest diversity survey. “It feels like supreme hypocrisy on the part of the journalism industry,” said @meredithdclark who has led @NewsLeaders' diversity survey in recent years. https://www.niemanlab.org/...
Jesse Holcomb / @jesseholcomb: This is embarrassing and shameful, and I am so disappointed about what @meredithdclark— who has led and labored on this initiative— has had to endure https://www.niemanlab.org/...
Lois Beckett / @loisbeckett: “Supreme hypocrisy on the part of the journalism industry.” A survey that measures diversity within US newsrooms is struggling as news outlets continue to fail to share their own data, blocking transparency into the industry's hiring decisions: https://www.niemanlab.org/...
Elahe Izadi / @elaheizadi: In 2019, 429 news organizations participated in an annual news diversity survey. It prompted a pause due to low participation. Surely, that number must have increased post-racial recokening, right? Nope: https://www.niemanlab.org/...
Molly de Aguiar / @mollydeaguiar: I don't know how many of the newsrooms who don't participate in the survey get philanthropic funding, but funders should absolutely require participation as a condition of a grant. @knightfdn has an opportunity to lead here. https://twitter.com/...
Abdallah Fayyad / @abdallah_fayyad: White people have been telling themselves that being white hurts their chances of getting certain jobs because they don't add to diversity goals. Yet here are newsrooms once again refusing to show their stats because—spoiler alert—they're not diversifying:https://www.niemanlab.org/ ...
@arreglalo: Also, newsrooms have grown MORE secretive about their DEI numbers post-Reckoning. They don't believe their own rhetoric about affirmative action. https://twitter.com/...
Jeff Jarvis / @jeffjarvis: Shameful. ‘For Clark, being transparent is the least newsrooms can do, especially as outlets often ask businesses and other organizations to do the same. “It feels like supreme hypocrisy.”’ https://twitter.com/...
Laura Hazard Owen / @laurahazardowen: Year after year, news organizations have refused to participate in @NewsLeaders' annual diversity survey. It happened again this year. @meredithdclark came in to try to fix the survey and has resigned, citing “crushing resistance.” https://www.niemanlab.org/...
@notinmycolour: Here is one way to communicate to your entire organization that you don't care about your racialized staff https://twitter.com/...
Vignesh Ramachandran / @vigneshr: “I've been met with the kind of crushing resistance that you would expect when you're trying to do things that contribute to structural and systemic change,” she added. “I just did not expect to meet with that among leaders in journalism.” https://twitter.com/...
@wagatwe: “Other reasons newsrooms gave NLA for not participating were...that they were worried that the information would be used against them in labor negotiations, among other concerns.” Wowowowow https://twitter.com/...
Marissa Martinez / @mar1ssamart1nez: “You don't get to transparency about diversity by relying on people's goodwill,” said @meredithdclark. disappointing to see newsrooms continue to not participate in this desperately needed survey — we need to acknowledge our current state to fix it: https://www.niemanlab.org/...
Sarah Scire / @sarahscire: Journalism needs a mirror, and it's never been more clear it won't get one by relying on goodwill alone. https://www.niemanlab.org/...
Kenyon Farrow / @kenyonfarrow: This is sad. Kudos to you for doing this thankless work as long as you did. https://twitter.com/...
@kaitwells: They aimed for 2,500 media outlets to participate. Only 303 organizations responded. 303. “Diversity can never be a measure of goodwill. You don't get to transparency about diversity by relying on people's goodwill,” said the survey's lead Meredith Clark. https://www.niemanlab.org/...

Erica Campbell / @ericacxmpbell: back in 2020, when everything shut down & no one was commissioning me @BitchMedia asked me to write for their Fall print mag I got to write about vulnerability, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs & Beyoncé but more importantly, I got to remember I was a writer - so sad that they're closing https://twitter.com/...

Cassie Mannes Murray / @cassmannes: Nooooooooo this is so sad. At fourteen I bought Bitch Magazine from Barnes & Noble because I wanted to feel scandalous and then I didn't stop buying them. Bitch filled so many educational gaps for me as a teenager, and now. So much nuance in their work. https://twitter.com/...
Jeanna Kadlec / @jeannakadlec: BITCH was the first feminist mag I started reading back when I was still an evangelical teenager. it helped make a difference in how I thought, in how I began to challenge things. the latest issue just showed up at my house this week. damn. what a run.
