CBS News editor-in-chief\u00a0Bari Weiss<\/a> will hold an all-staff meeting on Tuesday to discuss “the future of CBS News,” Fox News Digital has confirmed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

New York-based staffers will attend live while the meeting will be streamed live to the Washington, London and Los Angeles bureaus. CBS News employees who are out in the field will have an opportunity to join the meeting remotely, and employees were encouraged to submit questions to Weiss in advance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Weiss, who was handpicked by CEO David Ellison, was formally named editor-in-chief of CBS News in October after her outlet, The Free Press, was acquired by\u00a0Paramount<\/a>. The move was met with both internal and external criticism \u2014 with some citing her opinion background and lack of television experience. But others have welcomed the move, noting that CBS News trailed ABC and NBC in most metrics and needed to evolve.\u00a0<\/p>\n

’60 MINUTES’ HOST SCOTT PELLEY REPORTEDLY SAID CBS CHIEF BARI WEISS NEEDED TO TAKE JOB MORE ‘SERIOUSLY’<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Weiss quickly put her stamp on the network, naming Tony Dokoupil as the new anchor of “CBS Evening News,” questioning staffers<\/a> about public mistrust in the media, and delaying a “60 Minutes” report on the notorious El Salvador prison CECOT.<\/p>\n

Sharyn Alfonsi, a longtime “60 Minutes” correspondent, sent a note to colleagues fuming over the late December decision by Weiss to hold the story, “Inside CECOT,” claiming it was done for political rather than editorial reasons.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Weiss took heat from the left, with outspoken critics claiming she held the story to appease the Trump administration. Weiss insisted it lacked key context and needed additional reporting, but she gave it the green light to air with a few minor changes a few weeks later.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Puck\u2019s Dylan Byers reported on Wednesday<\/u><\/a> that, despite weeks of bickering through intermediaries, Weiss and Alfonsi had not met in person until the week before the segment finally aired.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Sharyn seemed angry and annoyed throughout the meeting and resistant to any input,” Byers wrote, citing “multiple sources.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Alfonsi then reportedly snapped<\/a> at deputy editor Adam Rubenstein, a former New York Times opinion editor who Weiss brought to CBS and also works for The Free Press. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Weiss is expected to directly address employees during Tuesday\u2019s internal meeting.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Her tenure has been met with negative coverage from several left-leaning outlets, including CNN, The Guardian and The Daily Beast, the last of which keeps calling Dokoupil “MAGA-coded<\/a>” in headlines.<\/p>\n

While The Free Press is frequently accused of carrying water for the Trump administratio, Weiss’ website’s banner story on Monday<\/a> was an editorial blasting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for “lying” about the Border Patrol killing of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n

CBS News did not immediately respond to a request for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
