New CNN boss Chris Licht is logging off of Twitter

Twitter

"May 2 will be my first official day in the office at CNN & my last day on Twitter," tweeted Licht, the incoming chairman and chief executive of CNN Global. "Twitter can be a great journalistic tool, but it can also skew what's really important in the world. I’m logging off & looking forward to working with the incredible team at CNN." Licht is following in the footsteps of predecessor Jeff Zucker, who didn't tweet.
