CNN’s Reliable Sources is back. Kind of. Brian Stelter, a media reporter and pundit who left CNN two years ago amid differences with the network’s previous leadership, is returning to the company as its chief media analyst and writer of its Reliable Sources newsletter. (NYT)

In a surprise edition of the newsletter Tuesday evening, Stelter wrote, “Hello again, it’s Brian Stelter—yes, really. I am thrilled to share that I am returning as the lead author of CNN’s Reliable Sources newsletter, the digest I founded in 2015.”
