Bari Weiss and the Media Landscape
America's once diverse news landscape is being remade under the control of a few.
Bari Weiss, the new head of CBS News, is being captured by the media rather than capturing it. Her suitability for the editor-in-chief role has been endlessly scrutinized since Paramount announced her $150 million "acquihire" less than two weeks ago.
She earned a full episode of John Oliver's Last Week Tonight.
Media reporters have closely documented her first steps in the job, including every memo, meeting, and sign of intervention in the news agenda. Weiss previously positioned the Free Press, the publication she left the New York Times to launch, as the authentic voice of scrappy media outsiders.
