Paramount Skydance has officially acquired the anti-woke digital media outlet The Free Press for $150 million and named the site’s “heterodox” founder Bari Weiss as editor-in-chief of CBS News, the companies announced Monday.
“I stand for the same core journalistic values that have defined this profession since the beginning, and I will continue to champion them alongside you,” Weiss said in her first message to CBS News staff Monday morning, adding that she aspires for “journalism that holds both American political parties to equal scrutiny.”
