The Freedom of the Press Foundation is circulating a letter from current and former journalists as well as journalism and constitutional law professors and other experts “opposing the Paramount-WBD merger due to David Ellison’s reported promise to Trump of ‘sweeping changes’ at CNN if the transaction is approved and the likelihood of political interference in editorial decisions, as we’ve seen at CBS.”

You might have seen the stories. Not all of them mention the effect this might have on diversity, on journalism or on jobs.

Seth Stern (pictured, by Jeanine L. Cummins), director of advocacy for the group, whose motto is “Protecting and defending press freedom when we need it the most,” has participated in our Roundtables on ICE’s actions toward the press. He explains:

“I’d say that what’s happening at CBS is a pretty good predictor of what is likely to happen at CNN. The Ellisons are unlikely to resist pressure from their friends in the administration to eliminate DEI efforts.

“That applies both to diversity in employment and diversity of guests and viewpoints. I don’t have any specific insights into how jobs will be impacted but I think it’s evident that Ellison sees news as a business rather than a social responsibility, and executives who treat news like any other widget they’re selling tend to be quick to lay people off when times are hard.

“That’s not to mention journalists who might be forced to resign in protest due to infringements on their editorial freedoms and other moral concerns.”

Stern adds, “We’re under no illusion that we’re going to get 5,000 signatures on this letter — current journalists at mainstream outlets are unlikely to sign — but we think we can get enough to make an impact and make sure press freedom is part of the broader conversation along with consolidation in Hollywood.”

The text of the letter is here.

There are conflicting stories about where the proposed merger stands.

An updated report from Semafor Wednesday said, “US antitrust regulators appear ready to approve Paramount’s $110 billion takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery after a two-hour meeting Tuesday at the Justice Department, where Paramount CEO David Ellison reiterated a commitment to releasing movies in theaters, people familiar with the matter said.”

Meg James reported Tuesday for the Los Angeles Times, “Is Paramount making a Tony Soprano move?

“David Ellison’s media company appears to be girding for a big battle with California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta and fellow state attorneys general who may team up to file a lawsuit aiming to block Paramount’s proposed $111-billion takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery.”

. . . The Press Mobilizes Against Ellison

By Oliver Darcy, Status, May 26

A coalition of journalists, academics, and documentarians have signed a letter opposing Paramount’s acquisition of CNN’s parent co, Status has learned — voicing concern over the ramifications it will have for the news landscape.

Last month, thousands of Hollywood actors, directors, and producers signed an open letter vehemently opposing Paramount’s proposed merger with Warner Bros. Discovery. The letter focused largely on the consequences the tie-up would have for the entertainment industry and consumer choice.
But while it argued that competition is “essential” to a “healthy democracy,” it did not grapple with one of the deal’s most significant implications for the public: putting CBS News and CNN, two of the most recognizable news organizations in the country, under the control of David Ellison, who has conspicuously cozied up to Donald Trump.
The letter cited reporting from The Wall Street Journal that Ellison will make “sweeping changes” at CNN to appease Trump, should he take over the news network. Trump has insisted that CNN — which he has vilified and railed against since his first term — must be placed under new ownership as part of any deal for Warners. He openly said in December that a takeover of the David Zaslav-led conglomerate should include placing the news organization under different management, a brazen demand from a sitting U.S. president seeking to extract political concessions from a deal overseen by federal regulators.

A new letter organized by the Freedom of the Press Foundation seeks to change that. The letter, obtained by Status ahead of its delivery to Paramount this week, is signed by nearly 200 current and former journalists, academics, documentary filmmakers, and press freedom organizations who oppose the merger on grounds that it will “open the door to improper political meddling in journalists’ editorial decisions.”
“Ellison will likely alter CNN’s editorial direction (not to mention meddle with HBO’s documentaries) to be more friendly to the administration, threatening press freedom,” the letter warned, noting that members of the Trump administration “expect exactly that.”
Signees include legendary former ABC News anchor Sam Donaldson, former veteran ABC News and CBS News correspondent Judy Muller, former CNN anchor and independent journalist Jim Acosta, former MSNBC host and independent legal analyst Katie Phang, Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker Laura Poitras, Emmy Award-wining filmmaker Geeta Gandbhir, Zeteo founder Mehdi Hasan, and more.
Also included in the effort to block the merger is current CNN contributor S.E. Cupp, who told Status through a representative that “journalism is under assault in America — not just by authoritarian forces, but by market forces, too.”
“It’s more important than ever that news organizations be stewarded by people and entities that prioritize facts, truth, and accountability, not dollars, deals, and political power grabs,” Cupp said.
CNN contributors are not full-time employees. Nevertheless, Cupp’s participation carries weight, given she is a former CNN host and still remains a paid network commentator on the network.
While not a signee to the letter, Kara Swisher, who is also a CNN contributor, is scheduled to speak at a virtual gathering on Wednesday billed as highlighting “the threats” the merger poses to “press freedom, independent journalism and documentary-film production.” Swisher has been open about how she will not sit on Ellison’s payroll should he win control over CNN.
A Paramount spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment.
The letter slated to be delivered to Paramount this week said Ellison “has already made such sweeping changes to appease Trump at Paramount’s current major news holding, CBS News.” It cited a number of changes he has made, including most notably hiring “Trump-aligned columnist Bari Weiss as editor in chief of CBS News.”
“We urge federal and state regulators and lawmakers, as well as Paramount shareholders and news consumers, to treat this merger not as an arms-length and above board business transaction, but as what it plainly is: a political arrangement to circumvent constitutional safeguards, with severe consequences for American democracy,” the letter said.
The letter adds to the mounting resistance to the mega-merger. In addition to the Hollywood figures who have protested the deal, Democratic lawmakers on Capitol Hill have also made noise, demanding Ellison testify before them. More importantly, however, state attorneys general are examining whether to file a lawsuit that could block the deal. California Attorney General Rob Bonta said in a meeting last week that he is considering taking legal action, but has not made a “final decision” on whether to do so, The New York Times’ Ben Mullin reported Tuesday.
But Bonta should have a decision soon. As Status first reported, Paramount is hoping to close its Warners deal by mid-July, meaning that if state attorneys general intend to act, they will need to move quickly. In the meeting Bonta held last week, The Times reported that the California attorney general’s office is aware of the possibility the deal could close in July. Bonta, according to The Times, told attendees in the private meeting that he would not “lose the opportunity to move aggressively, if that’s what we decide to do.”

So we walk into his kitchen and he asks me, ‘What do you want me to do?’ I think my reply was something like, ‘…whatever you want to!’ And before that sentence was fully out of my mouth he grabbed that very large knife, spun around and said, ‘… Well how ‘bout I stab you Muthafucker?!’ I got off two shots.” (Photo credit: Jeanine L.

July 1: Filing Deadline for Interest in Black Journalism Workshop

Call for Papers
From the African American Intellectual History Society and the Black Press Research Collective: We are inviting early-career scholars and ABD [All but Dissertation] graduate students to participate in a two-day workshop at Brown University in October 2026 focused on the Global Black Press. The workshop will bring together emerging scholars to share and discuss draft essays for a collaborative scholarly project commemorating the bicentennial of the Black Press (1827–2027).

Organized in partnership with African American Intellectual History Society, its digital platform Black Perspectives and the journal, Global Black Thought, the initiative examines the enduring and evolving role of Black journalism in shaping Black intellectual, cultural, and political life across the African diaspora.

Beginning with the founding of Freedom’s Journal in 1827, the project rethinks the Black Press not simply as a historical institution, but as a dynamic space of global Black thought — one in which ideas circulate, communities are imagined, and political futures are debated and produced. We are especially interested in scholarship that places the U.S. Black Press in conversation with Black and African diasporic media traditions, with particular attention to transnational exchange, intellectual production, and the cultural work of journalism.

Workshop participants will have the opportunity to publish essays of approximately 1,250–1,500 words in a special roundtable series on Black Perspectives in Spring 2027 as part of the bicentennial commemoration.
