In 1973, Loory became executive editor for WNBC-TV news. Then, in 1980, he joined CNN, working his way up from managing editor of the Washington bureau, to Moscow bureau chief, then senior correspondent, executive producer and, finally, editor in chief of CNN World Report. The latter program, which he helped to create, featured news segments from more than 100 countries.
