ジム・アコスタ氏、CNNを退職し新たなキャリアの章へ

ジム・アコスタ氏は、CNNの著名なアンカーであり、元大統領ドナルド・トランプ氏の批判的な立場で知られていましたが、約20年にわたる同局でのキャリアに終止符を打つことを発表しました。アコスタ氏は火曜日の最終放送でその決断を明らかにし、CNNが彼の番組を深夜の時間帯に移動するという提案を断ったことを述べ、「墓地シフト」と呼んでいました。彼はジャーナリズムの誠実さへのコミットメントを強調し、視聴者に対して「真実を守り続けること」を呼びかけ、「暴君に屈しないこと」を訴えました。

アコスタ氏の退職は、CNNが番組編成を再編し、彼の番組を平日午前10時(東部時間)の枠から深夜の時間帯に移動させたことに続くものです。CNNの幹部はこの変更を広範な再編の一環と説明しましたが、批評家たちは、アコスタ氏と頻繁に対立してきたトランプ氏をなだめるための試みではないかと推測しました。トランプ氏はTruth Socialでこのニュースを喜び、アコスタ氏を「大敗者」と呼び、彼のジャーナリズムの信頼性を批判しました。

CNN在籍中、アコスタ氏はトランプ氏との対立的なインタビューで知られるようになり、特にトランプ氏の一期目にその傾向が顕著でした。彼らの対立は2018年にピークに達し、記者会見中の激しいやり取りの後、ホワイトハウスが一時的にアコスタ氏の記者証を停止しました。アコスタ氏はその後、自身のキャリアを振り返り、2016年に元大統領バラク・オバマ氏のキューバ訪問を取材した際、キューバの指導者ラウル・カストロ氏に政治犯について質問したことが彼のキャリアの決定的な瞬間だったと述べました。

CNNは声明で、アコスタ氏の憲法修正第一条とジャーナリズムの自由への献身を称え、今後の活躍を祈念しました。一方、アコスタ氏はSubstackで新しい番組を立ち上げ、伝統的なメディアを離れて独立したプラットフォームに移るジャーナリストの増えるリストに加わりました。彼は権力を監視し続けることを誓い、CNNからの退職が彼のキャリアの新たな章の始まりであることを示しました。
