CBS News: Staffers To Hear Of Reorganization Plans

CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss is set to unveil her vision for the network's future during an all-staff town hall meeting on Tuesday at 11 a.m. ET.

In an email sent to employees on Monday, Weiss invited staff to join her for a discussion on “the future of CBS News” and encouraged them to submit questions in advance. The meeting's exact timing had been kept confidential until the email went out, according to a CBS News insider who described the agenda as unveiling “a new structure and plans for the future of CBS News.”

The announcement comes amid ongoing changes at the network since Weiss took over as editor-in-chief.

Her leadership has involved significant restructuring efforts, including cost-cutting measures, shifts in programming priorities—such as an emphasis on town hall formats—and reported internal tensions. Recent moves have included high-profile town hall events (some controversial), staff memos soliciting input on roles, and efforts to reshape coverage to appeal to broader or different audience segments.

The Tuesday town hall represents a key moment for Weiss to outline her reorganization plans directly to the workforce. Details on the specific changes—such as potential shifts in editorial structure, programming, staffing, or strategic direction—remain undisclosed ahead of the meeting.

Staff have been actively encouraged to participate by sending questions beforehand, signaling an opportunity for dialogue during a period of transition at the storied news division.
