[edit]Azuz began his career at CNN as an entry-level teleprompter operator two days after his graduation from the University of Georgia. After several years of working in production and writing, including work as a features writer and writer and deliever of the "Shoutout" segment[3], Carl took over as anchor of CNN Student News in 2008.[4] The CNN program featured original reporting, along with clips from CNN broadcasts and quiz-style questions.[5] The target audience of CNN Student News/CNN 10 was middle and high school students.[6] Azuz would spend 15 years as the anchor of CNN Student News/CNN 10, and the sole writer of the program from 2014-2022. Azuz left CNN in 2022, following the conclusion of the 2021-2022 school year. His final episode of CNN 10 was May 27, 2022.[7] The fall 2022 season did not begin until September 11, and when Azuz was not the anchor, social media rumors swirled[8]. Coy Wire would eventually anchor CNN 10.[9] On September 19, Azuz announced on TikTok that "he would no longer be a part of the show where you and I met."[10] In the year following his time at CNN, Azuz did freelance work, including producing content for SonLight Homeschool Curriculum, and public speaking gigs.[11] On November 8, 2022, Azuz announced his new role as an ambassador for Mediawise, a division of the Poynter Insitute devoted to teenage media literacy.[12]
The World From A to Z
[edit]Starting in August 2023, Azuz began producing a new newscast entitled "The World from A to Z", a nod to his surname and a previous CNN Student News blog, entitled "From A to Z with Carl Azuz"[13]. The World From A to Z is owned by World News Group , a Christian journalism organization based in North Carolina[14]. The roughly nine minute show releases episodes Monday through Friday during the American school-year. The show aims to be non-biased and non-partisan, while incorporating Azuz's signature puns and light-hearted approach[15]. Some of Azuz's trademarks include incorporating puns in the last segment of his shows[16], and including the phrase, "Fridays are awesome," into the last show of the week, this has continued from CNN into his current broadcast.[17]
Personal Life
[edit]Azuz has described himself as "an American mutt" when characterizing his ancestry. One of his great-grandfathers came to the United States from Spain, but his predominant ethnicity is Italian.[18] Azuz graduated from McIntosh High School in Peachtree City, Georgia[19]. In high school, he participated in drama productions.[20] Azuz graduated from the University of Georgia, majoring in telecommunications arts production and minoring in drama[21].[22] He resides in the Atlanta metro area with his family.[23]
