CNN Bets More of Kaitlan Collins’ White House News Hustle Can Power ‘The Source’
CNN hopes to bring more White House news hustle to Kaitlan Collins' 'The Source,' with a format change that will have her anchor from a D.C. newsroom
The hope is that the change in setting will give viewers a more kinetic presentation that reminds them of Collins’ unique place at the network — it is rare for someone assigned to a busy news beat, in this case that of chief White House correspondent, to also have responsibility for leading a primetime hour all week. “ The Source ” hinges on Collins’ ability to get newsmakers on the show for candid talk, and in recent days, those guests have included Rep. Dan Crenshaw and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. At 33 years old, she is one of the youngest occupants of the network’s top White House role as well as the inhabitants of its 9 p.m. hour, a slot that has previously been occupied by Larry King, Piers Morgan and Chris Cuomo.
