Bari Weiss, known as an anti-woke crusader, has been appointed as the editor in chief of CBS News.
Paramount announced the hiring of Weiss, along with the acquisition of her Substack publication, the Free Press, which has over 1.6 million subscribers and $15 million in annual revenue.
Her appointment has garnered significant attention from media reporters, who are closely watching her first days in office.
Despite the hype, little explosive information has emerged, but the installation of Weiss into a top position in broadcast media warrants scrutiny.
Weiss launched the Free Press in 2021, after leaving the New York Times, and it has become a notable publication.
