"We are pleased to share the news of a new and expanded race team, which will contribute to all CNN platforms,” CNN president Jeff Zucker said in a memo to staff. “This team will build on what so many do already at CNN and will provide the needed structure to cover this beat with more focus and force." The announcement comes after CNN held a series of conversations on race and racism following George Floyd's police brutality death.
