Bari Weiss, former NYT writer, named CBS News editor-in-chief after Paramount bought her conservative Substack outlet for $150M.
Bari Weiss, former New York Times opinion writer, has been named editor-in-chief of CBS News after Paramount acquired her Substack-based outlet, The Free Press, for $150 million.
Weiss, who left the Times in 2020 citing editorial disagreements, built The Free Press into a $15 million annual subscription service.
She advocates for journalism that reflects reality without ideological bias, offering nuanced coverage of figures like Donald Trump without outright labeling them.
Her appointment has sparked debate, with critics calling it a conservative pushback against progressive media norms, while supporters praise her focus on plain-language reporting and intellectual honesty.
The move highlights ongoing tensions over objectivity, free speech, and journalistic standards in a polarized media landscape.
