After months of speculation, CNN cut 6% of its TV news staff, while continuing to add talent focused on digital products. Expect more shifts like this for TV news.

US news network CNN will shed six percent of staff, some 200 people, the outlet said Thursday as it embarks on a major shakeup of staffing and programing amid a deluge of political news.

CNN is expected to announce significant job cuts this week, part of CEO Mark Thompson’s long-in-the-works restructuring plans to place more emphasis on the digital future. CNBC first reported on the job reductions, which could number in the hundreds. A CNN spokesperson declined comment.

CNN will eliminate 6 percent of its global workforce as the network tries to rebound from low ratings by focusing on digital news platforms. This article, CNN laying off around 200 workers amid digital news shift,
