"With the long-expected Paramount layoffs hitting the CBS newsroom Wednesday morning, new editor-in-chief Bari Weiss told the reporters and journalists impacted by the brutal cuts that she was there to offer support to anyone who needed it. This is just such an enormously difficult day for so many people who have given years of their lives to this company, she said during the morning editorial call, according to audio reviewed by The Independent."
"And I'm sorry, and I want to support everyone in whatever way I can, she added. My door is open, whether I'm sitting up here or downstairs. The network's cuts, meanwhile, have led to the cancellation of two digital shows and the gutting of CBS News' Saturday morning offering. On top of that, The Independent has learned that the network's race and culture unit has also been shuttered."
Paramount layoffs hit the CBS newsroom, prompting new editor-in-chief Bari Weiss to offer support to affected reporters and journalists. Weiss said the day was enormously difficult for people who had given years to the company and that her door is open to help. The cuts cancelled two digital shows, gutted CBS News' Saturday morning offering, and shuttered the network's race and culture unit. Staff described the reductions as a 'bloodbath' that expanded across the newsroom. The Independent funds journalism through donations, declines paywalls, produces documentaries like 'The A Word', investigates topics such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC, and aims to reach Americans across the political spectrum.
