Our friends over at TVNewser are reporting that around 24 CNN Newsroom Dayside staff members are having their jobs be re-classified and are asked to re-apply for their jobs or accept a severance package.

“This new structure invests and plans for the future needs of the program,” confirms CNN spokesperson Bridget Leininger. “It is not a cost-cutting measure by any means. We are posting more new positions than writers impacted.”
