CBS News' Weiss Shakes Up Masthead Amid Sixty Minutes Controversy
Bari Weiss, CBS News new editor-in-chief, is revamping the networks standards and procedures with a new masthead. This move comes after controversy over a pulled sixty minutes segment, Inside CECOT, which examined a prison in El Salvador. Weiss pulled the story due to missing statements from key government departments, sparking debate over editorial decisions and political influence. To address these issues, the masthead plans to establish a tighter chain of command and uniform processes, aiming to provide more oversight for sensitive stories. Weiss, a former New York Times columnist, brings her experience in navigating editorial challenges to her new role at CBS.
