Changes have been taking hold at CBS News as of late due to significant changes amongst the executive ranks at parent company Paramount. Company CEO David Ellison made a highly debated move this past October when he hired Bari Weiss to be editor-in-chief of the news sector. Weiss is reportedly seeking to overhaul various aspects of the brand and, around this time, employees have either left or been let go. A lot of eyes are on veteran TV journalist Gayle King now, and a new report suggests Weiss has specific plans for her.
The past few months have been filled with speculation regarding Gayle King’s status at the Eye Network. It’s been alleged that King may be on her way out the door, though nothing has been officially confirmed on that front. Much has also been said about King’s reported $15 million contract. Per new reporting by Variety, Bari Weiss isn’t pleased with that deal as it stands. It’s allegedly Weiss’ opinion that King’s deal is no longer practical in this current media landscape.
