News Summary:

On July 22, 2026, CBS News hired veteran journalist and podcaster Mike Pesca as its podcast editorial director to expand its audio programming, an appointment announced by Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss. Previously, on July 20, media watchdog Status uncovered an expanding professional relationship between CBS News head Bari Weiss and Mathias Döpfner, CEO of German publishing conglomerate Axel Springer, which owns outlets including Politico and Business Insider. Earlier, on July 17, former "60 Minutes" executive producer Bill Owens was reportedly preparing a "scorched-earth" memoir about CBS News, even as parent company Paramount continued paying out his multimillion-dollar contract under a separation agreement that included a non-disparagement clause. This followed reports on July 16 that CBS News, alongside other major broadcasters, chose not to air former President Donald Trump’s primetime speech live and uninterrupted, citing concerns he would present false claims about election fraud.
