Linda Stouffer

Cinnamon Linda Stouffer (born August 5, 1970) is an American television news correspondent. She was a weekday and later a weekend anchor for CNN Headline News. She had been with the network since 1997, but was among several laid off in December 2008, her last day being December 14, 2008.[1] Some speculated that CNN wanted more diverse-looking and younger complaisant female anchors that would dress more provocative.

Previously Stouffer co-anchored the morning news program Ahead of the Curve, which aired simultaneously on CNN/U.S. and CNNfn, CNN's former financial news network. She also anchored in Miami's WSVN.[2] With WSVN, she went under the name of Cinnamon Stouffer. Linda was Texas' Junior Miss when she was a high school senior and participated in the America's Junior Miss Scholarship Program in 1988.[3]

She is now a correspondent and weekend/substitute weekday anchor on WSB TV in Atlanta, GA.
