Cable news’ longest-serving executive is retiring after 40 years at CNN
The longest-serving executive in the history of cable news is retiring, and CNN will never be the same.
Around the network he is known simply as Rick. “Ask Rick.” “See what Rick thinks.” Sometimes more ominously, “Rick wants to talk.” Or, with a sigh of relief, “Rick OKed this.”
“Rick” is Rick Davis, the executive vice president of news standards and practices, charged with keeping CNN’s editorial standards high across all of its platforms.
He has held the role since 1998, and his career with CNN dates back to 1980, and the day the cable news network was founded.
