There’s a new boss at CBS. After the network’s parent company acquired Bari Weiss’s the Free Press on Monday for $150 million, Weiss is taking over as CBS News’ editor-in-chief.
Andrew Prokop is here to help make sense of the acquisition, explaining Weiss’ unique trajectory through the media landscape, the five key tenets of her worldview, and what could be in store for the new-look CBS News.
