Paramount Global has let go of nearly two dozen people at its CBS News division as part of a broader action involving layoffs across its company, according to a report.
On Tuesday, the New York Post’s Alexandra Steigrad said around 20 CBS News employees were among 800 workers to receive pink slips this week.

The headlines coming out of CBS News will soon be guided by a new executive.
Neeraj Khemlani, who arrived at the Paramount Global unit in 2021 to oversee CBS News and local stations along with Wendy McMahon, is leaving his role running the unit that produces “60 Minutes,” “CBS Evening News” and “Face The Nation,” among other programs. Khemlani told CBS News staffers Sunday that he has decided to exit and will instead pursue a new multi-year first-look deal with CBS that has him developing content including books for Simon & Schuster, documentaries and scripted series.
Many senior news executives and anchors sign contracts for three years or more. Khemlani has during a two-years-plus tenure helped to rework CBS News’ morning programming; eliminate divisions between the linear news staff and CBS News streaming operations; bolster its investigative unit; and inject new talent into the famously insular division, including Robert Costa, Natalie Morales and Cecilia Vega.

ViacomCBS has been searching for a successor to CBS News President Susan Zirinsky, according to people familiar with the matter, as media companies place new emphasis on their news divisions to attract the big, live audiences that advertisers and distributors continue to crave while more consumers migrate to streaming video.
George Cheeks, CEO of ViacomCBS’ CBS assets, has been holding talks with potential candidates for weeks, according to these people. There is no set timeline for Zirinsky to step down. She is likely to take a new role as a top producer of CBS News programming that can appear across the company’s venues, whether they include the CBS broadcast network, its Cbsn live-streaming portal, or its subscription-based streaming hub, Paramount Plus. Zirinsky has long been known for her love of overseeing news production, and retained a title as a senior executive producer when she took on the role of president.

Update: The CBS Broadcast Center in New York is slowly coming back to life even after a fourth worker tested positive for coronavirus on Friday. The drama has been playing out since Wednesday, when two employees at CBS Network News showed symptoms and tested positive. The whole building was disinfected and they’re trying to get it working as best they can. The busy production hub impacts numerous shows, including CBS Evening News, 60 Minutes, CBS Sunday Morning, Inside Edition and the local New York Evening broadcasts. Give the network credit for being changeable in crisis: the network news and CBS This Morning was quarterbacked from DC, while Deborah Norville hosted Inside Edition from her kitchen. The situation is fluid but the hope was to slowly integrate production back in the broadcast center this weekend, taking every precaution possible and getting everyone out when they’ve completed the newscasts.

Jose Andino has been hired in the newly created role of Svp Human Resources at CBS News, the latest move at the division trying to revamp its culture in the wake of the exits of Les Moonves and Jeff Fager.
CBS News said Thursday that Andino will focus on overall human resources strategy along with employee relations, programs and processes, cultural and leadership development, employee education and development, and compensation and benefits at the division.
The hire was unveiled by Laurie Rosenfield, CBS’ chief people officer. Andino will report to Rosenfield and new CBS News president and senior executive producer Susan Zirinsky, and he will also work with Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews, Evp Strategic Professional Development.
Most recently, Andino served as VP Human Resources at Mediapro Us. His 20-year career includes Hr roles at Sony Pictures Entertainment for two years and NBCUniversal for 12 years. Before NBCU, he was an Hr director at CNN, where he was on the team that launched CNN en Español.
“We are very pleased to welcome Jose to our team in this newly imagined and critical role,” said Rosenfield in a press release. “Jose’s proven track record of successfully evolving cultures and ensuring that human resources is set up to support business goals and strategies makes him a perfect fit to lead CBS News’ Hr efforts. In addition, Jose’s previous experience in News organizations and his passion for addressing the needs and aspirations of employees, as we continue to focus on strengthening our culture and ensuring that all employees are provided with a safe, fair, inclusive and positive work environment, made him the clear choice in our search.”
Rosenfeld was named to her post in October in the wake of the departures of Moonves and Fager. Zirinsky was named to run CBS News in January; she was thought to be top contender to replace ousted Fager but instead replaced David Rhodes, becoming the first woman to helm the news division.

CBS News unveiled a new top executive structure, another sign of how Susan Zirinsky, the unit’s incoming president, intends to manage operations going forward.

Staffers at CBS News are growing anxious over which of two internal candidates is most likely to win the top post at “60 Minutes” — and it’s making some people more cranky than Andy Rooney delivering one of his famous monologues for the show.
The executive producer slot at “60 Minutes” has been open since longtime chief Jeff Fager parted ways with CBS in September over a threatening text message he sent to a CBS News reporter. Now, staffers supporting either Bill Owens, the show’s executive editor, or Susan Zirinsky, the veteran CBS News producer, are trying to stir up unrest.
Zirinsky, the executive producer of “48 Hours,” sent an email to the show’s staffers on Friday calling for calm after The New York Post reported she had potentially gained an edge with executives trying to decide who should lead the show into the future. “Don’t believe anything you read,...

Updated with Fager statement: CBS News chief David Rhodes issued a statement Wednesday announcing that Jeff Fager, longtime division exec and current executive producer of 60 Minutes, was stepping down “effective immediately.”
Fager is out in the wake of sexual harassment allegations, including a new one on Sunday that was detailed in Ronan Farrow’s piece in the New Yorker that brought down CBS Corp CEO Leslie Moonves earlier this week. This time, a former intern accused the newsmag chief/former CBS News chair of groping her at an office party.
Rhodes insisted in his statement that “This action today is not directly related to the allegations surfaced in press reports, which continue to be investigated independently.”
“However, he violated company policy and it is our commitment to uphold those policies at every level,’ Rhodes said, adding that Moonves’ interim CEO replacement Joe Ianniello “is in full support of this decision and the transition to come.

Jeff Fager, the longtime executive producer of “60 Minutes” and a top figure in the TV-news business, is leaving the venerable newsmagazine, CBS News said Wednesday. The company said Fager “violated company policy,” but declined to elaborate.
Fager has been under scrutiny for months, along with CBS Corp., the parent of CBS News. The news unit has been besieged by a set of allegations about sexual harassment and the culture of the company ever since former “CBS This Morning” anchor Charlie Rose was terminated after multiple accusations of sexual misconduct were levied at him last year. A blockbuster article in the New Yorker by journalist Ronan Farrow published in August cited interviews with 19 current and former CBS employees who claimed Fager (pictured. above), only the second executive producer of “60 Minutes” and a former chairman of the news division, turned a deaf ear to instances of harassment even as three...
