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.

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.

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 turning to job cuts this month, with the goal of lowering costs and expanding into the digital space more actively.
