April fool's joke? Larry Madowo has announced his departure from CNN
In what appears to be an April Fool’s joke, journalist Larry Madowo has announced that he will be leaving the Cable News Network (CNN) to return to his former employer, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).
- Madowo wrote on his X account on Monday, April 1: “Some personal news: after 3 incredible years with CNN, I’m thrilled to share that I’m back at the BBC in Washington.”
He added: “Thanks for a great ride.”
However, Citizen Digital noted that despite the announcement, Madowo has still not changed his profile bio, which still shows that he is an international correspondent at CNN.
The bio reads “Former BBC North America correspondent. Nomad. Past lives in Joburg, London, New York and Washington.”
At the time of publication, CNN had not made any announcement about Larry’s departure, as is customary with every other departure or appointment of their journalists.
His followers on his X, LinkedIn and Instagram accounts have expressed skepticism as they believe Madowo is taking part in the once-a-year craze.
He joined CNN in 2021 after a 4-year stint at the BBC.
Madowo was the BBC’s North America correspondent in Washington, DC and previously served as BBC Africa business editor.
