robinsonChrista Robinson, who led communications for CNN Worldwide, has moved to Tribune Company as chief communications officer.

She takes the communications reins handled by senior VP of corporate relations Gary Weitman. Robinson is based in New York, while Weitman works from Chicago.

First-year Tribune president and CEO Peter Liquori praised Weitman's 13-year run and said he'll be "a terrific partner to Christa as she comes aboard."

Tribune emerged from bankruptcy last year and is mulling the sale of its newspaper assets, including the Chicago Tribune and Los Angeles Times.

Robinson was a CNN PR hand since 1999, handling communications and PR for the cable news giant's networks and digital platforms before taking the senior VP of PR post in 2003 and later moving to a global role.

She was previously director of communications for the White House Domestic Policy Council during the Clinton administration.
