Paramount Seeks a Business Leader to Back Bari Weiss at CBS News

Paramount Skydance is seeking a business executive to work with Bari Weiss, CBS News’ editor-in-chief, as she faces internal scrutiny after a sweeping 60 Minutes overhaul. The role would be business-focused with limited editorial authority beyond Weiss, and talks have been underway for weeks. The move comes amid Weiss’s leadership tensions and Paramount’s Warner Bros. Discovery deal, with CBS News declining to comment; Weiss’s relatively limited TV-ops experience is cited as a hurdle in winning staff and advertisers.
