Matt Dornic Moves To CNN

November 8, 2011 By WHC Insider

Washington favorite, Matt Dornic, will be heading to CNN as Director of Public Relations for CNN Worldwide. Dornic told WHC Insider, “the position at CNN blends perfectly my passion for news media and experience in public relations and emerging technologies. Working with some of the greatest minds in the business – Christa Robinson, KC Estenson and Susan Grant – will be both a challenge and an incredible privilege.”

He spent the last few years at Quinn Gillespie & Associates and as co-editor of MediaBistro’s FishbowlDC.  Politico’s Mike Allen broke the news this morning of the job change and talked to QGA’s Jack Quinn who said “I’ll miss him terribly.” I think the rest of DC would agree.
