CBS News Overhauls Operations Under Bari Weiss

CBS News is implementing a digital-first overhaul under editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, who took charge in October 2025 and outlined plans at a January 27, 2026 town hall. Weiss named new contributors, promoted a streaming and video-first strategy, and prioritized investigative "scoops" and the "Things That Matter" town hall series with guests including JD Vance and Sam Altman. The shift targets younger, on-demand audiences.
