Hollywood Reporter: Warner Bros. Discovery Unveils Communications Team Leadership

Story from Hollywood Reporter:

Warner Bros. Discovery has unveiled its restructured communications team, led by Nathaniel Brown after he recently came on board as chief corporate communications officer.

Brown, who serves as the studio’s lead spokesperson and oversees all global communications and media relations, announced former Fox comms exec Megan Klein will be in charge of corporate communications.

And Laura Watson, who recently joined Warner Bros. Discovery from The Walt Disney Co., will oversee executive communications. Brown previously led corporate communications for Discovery, before it merged with WarnerMedia earlier this year.

As the communications teams at Warner Bros. and Discovery are combined, the studio also indicated Gregory Ho, Lauren McCabe, Janine Richardson, Caroline Rittenberry, Jennifer Toner, Rob Wheeler, Laura Young and Emily Zalenski will leave after a transition period.

Before joining Discovery in 2019, Brown was senior vp corporate affairs at 21st Century Fox and News Corp. Besides setting a new corporate executive structure, after the WarnerMedia and Discovery merger closed earlier this year, Warner Bros. Discovery has begun cost-cutting, which includes layoffs, as part of a promise to cut $3 billion from its balance sheet by 2023.
