Bari Weiss Outlines CBS News Strategy

Bari Weiss Outlines CBS News Strategy

Bari Weiss, the new boss at CBS News, told her team that they need to change how they do things.

She wants CBS News to focus more on streaming and building up their stars, like the people who host shows.

She also wants to make sure they tell stories that show different sides of issues, so people can make up their own minds.

Weiss said they need to hire people who understand different kinds of viewers and tell stories that might surprise or provoke people.

She also admitted that she needs to earn the trust of her team and the viewers.

She showed charts that say people don't trust the news as much as they used to, and more people are watching things online instead of on TV.

Weiss said that if they do things right, CBS News will look very different in a year.
