US EditionBari Weiss Will Reveal Her Plans for CBS News in Town Hall Meeting Tuesday
Bari Weiss will detail CBS News' restructuring following major cuts and staff departures since October, aiming to stabilize amidst ongoing internal challenges.
- On Tuesday, Bari Weiss, CBS News editor-in-chief, will present a new structure and future plans for CBS News at an 11 a.m. ET all-hands meeting.
- The overhaul follows months of shakeups since October, including roughly 100 cuts and multiple departures after Paramount's $150 million acquisition of the Free Press.
- The decision to spike a 60 Minutes segment three hours before airing drew internal rebuke from Sharyn Alfonsi, 60 Minutes correspondent, and others; the report later aired this month with a new introduction but was identical to a version that mistakenly aired in Canada.
- Concerns over firings and buyouts emerged as Sharyn Alfonsi and Scott Pelley could be let go, while CBS Evening News ratings rose to a new high last week.
- The internal rollout emphasized controlled communication as CBS News employees were encouraged to send Weiss questions ahead of the Tuesday meeting, while timing was kept under wraps until Monday email.
