The Free Press co-founder Bari Weiss will supervise a debate show modeled after her outlet’s streams tackling hot-button issues, The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday.
Paramount announced on Monday that it had acquired The Free Press and that Weiss would be CBS News’ editor-in-chief. Weiss and Paramount CEO David Ellison told the WSJ that they were in agreement on prioritizing “news that reflects reality” and journalism that “doesn’t seek to demonize, but seeks to understand.”

The New York Times’ Michael Grynbaum posted a letter on X that he said Weiss sent to every CBS News employee on Monday.
“What I can tell you on day one is that 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,” she wrote before listing some of the principles, including “ournalism that holds both American political parties to equal scrutiny.”
Ellison also stressed that he wanted CBS News to be fair, his outlet reported.
