CBS News head of standards quits a week after Bari Weiss is named editor-in-chief
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"Claudia Milne, CBS News' head of standards since 2021, announced Thursday that she was leaving the network, marking the first senior news executive to depart since The Free Press founder Bari Weiss was named the newsroom's editor-in-chief. Milne's departure also comes just weeks after the network named former Trump appointee and conservative think tank leader Kenneth Weinstein as an ombudsman dedicated to rooting out complaints of bias at CBS News, one of several moves by Paramount Skydance chief David Ellison that have sparked criticism within the network and among media critics."
The Independent covers major issues including reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech by sending reporters to developing stories. The outlet investigates topics such as Elon Musk's pro‑Trump PAC and produces documentaries like 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The Independent avoids paywalls and solicits donations so quality journalism remains available to all and funded by those who can afford it. Claudia Milne, CBS News' head of standards since 2021, announced her resignation during a morning editorial call and did not state a reason. Milne's departure follows recent leadership moves including Bari Weiss's newsroom appointment and the naming of Kenneth Weinstein as ombudsman, changes that prompted criticism.
