CBS News: All the Changes Viewers Should Expect Under Bari Weiss
Gayle King praised Bari Weiss and criticized newsroom 'leakers' during a tense CBS News town hall, prompting mixed reactions from staff amid ongoing editorial changes.
- During Tuesday's all‑hands, Gayle King defended Bari Weiss after Weiss outlined her editorial vision, echoing the leave‑if‑you‑don't line with `If you don't want to be here, if this is not the place for you, it's OK`.
- Bari Weiss, CBS News editor‑in‑chief, has driven sweeping changes since October, including bringing Tony Dokoupil to anchor and hiring 18 new network contributors, while pitching a `digital‑first` focus.
- Some staffers applauded Gayle King, CBS Mornings anchor, and praised Weiss for `laying out a very good case`, while others said King attacked `file‑leakers` and were `pretty salty` about her defense.
- An internal email offered an `extraordinary chance` to leave CBS News with enhanced separation payments, requiring CBS Evening News staff to respond before Monday, while Tom Cibrowski presented some buyouts during a Wednesday meeting.
- Weiss has pushed a `scoops` and social‑first strategy for CBS News brands: 60 Minutes and 48 Hours, unveiling the Things That Matter series and expanding contributors for podcasts, newsletters and live events.
