Jim Acosta Signs With WME (EXCLUSIVE)

Jim Acosta, a former chief White House correspondent and anchor for CNN, has signed with WME for representation.

Acosta joined CNN in 2007 after beginning his career in local radio and television and with CBS News, where he covered issues including the 2004 presidential election, the Iraq Qar and Hurricane Katrina. He covered Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton's campaigns for the 2008 presidential election at the beginning of his time at CNN before becoming a national political correspondent and covering Mitt Romney's 2012 presidential campaign. He was promoted to senior White House correspondent during Obama's second term as president, then became chief White House correspondent in 2018, during Donald Trump's first term as president.

Acosta left CNN in January of this year, and has since pivoted to doing independent journalism on Substack, where he has more than 300,000 subscribers, more than 10,000 of which are paid. There, he does daily live broadcasts, having featured guests including Pete Buttigieg and Leader Hakeem Jeffries. On Tuesday, he hosted his first in-person event, a town hall featuring Don Lemon and Michael Cohen.
