TVNewser - Chris Cramer leaves CNN International today after 11 years. In an e-mail to his colleagues today, the managing editor wrote:

"It has been a rare privilege to work at the heart of an organization like CNN International that was so mature in brand recognition and yet relatively young in business terms. Since then we have grown the business in a remarkable way.

Even in the face of tough competition, CNN International continues to have a profound effect on the lives of tens of millions of people around the world and you should be very proud of the journalism you practice. I am honored to have been able to share these experiences with you and I will remember my time at CNN with great affection."
