Skydance Media, the production company that will soon take over Paramount, told the Trump administration this week that it would eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies and hire an ombudsman to review “complaints of bias” at CBS News once its $8.4 billion merger is complete.
In a pair of letters to FCC Chairman Brendan Carr this week, Skydance’s general counsel Kyoko McKinnon noted that while Skydance “does not have DEI programs in place today,” the company confirmed that the New Paramount would not establish any similar practices in the future.
