According to a report in Variety, CBS News is laying off about 6% of its staff and will shut down the CBS News Radio service that is used by
approximately 700 stations. Variety reports that these cuts come under new management at Paramount Skydance and are part of CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss’ plans to “make CBS News more relevant to younger, digitally savvy generations.” It’s expected that the personnel cuts will affect between 60 and 70 people.
