3 January 2003 CNN has dropped its weekend business show Pinnacle and has eliminated the jobs of at least three correspondents, including Mark Potter in Miami, Brooks Jackson in Washington, and Allan Dodds Frank in New York, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported today (Friday). A CNN spokesman denied that it was instituting a round of job cuts, but Frank, winner of the prestigious Gerald Loeb business journalism award last year, told the AJC: “The company can put any spin on it they want to attempt. But if you stay tuned you will see veteran faces disappearing.” Separately, the New York Daily News reported today that veteran CNN correspondent Garrick Utley had also parted ways with the cable news outfit because “what I was doing was being used less.” The Daily News said that CNN had also fired San Francisco-based anchor James Hattori and CNNfn anchor Bruce Francis.
