Sonia Mabrouk, a prominent journalist, has officially resigned from CNews, a French news channel, after nearly ten years with the network. Her resignation comes shortly after discussions surrounding the continued presence of fellow journalist Jean-Marc Morandini on the air, which Mabrouk has publicly disagreed with, stating that it was a decision that did not rest with her. The situation has created some turmoil within the media landscape in France, particularly due to the implications of Morandini's continued involvement despite controversy.

In a statement on her social media, Mabrouk revealed that she had been exempted from the usual one-month notice period following her resignation. This rapid departure has stirred discussions within the media fraternity, where her stance on Morandini's situation had already been noted as contentious. Mabrouk’s exit may reflect broader tensions within CNews, affiliated with Vincent Bolloré's media holdings, regarding editorial decisions and the personalities they choose to support.

Mabrouk's career at CNews has been marked by her strong opinions and engagement on various media platforms. Her departure is likely to have ramifications beyond her immediate role, as it underscores ongoing debates within French media regarding ethics, journalism, and editorial control. The media will be watching closely to see who will fill her position and how her resignation may influence the future direction of CNews and its programming choices.
