Wendy McMahon, CEO of CBS News, announced her resignation in an internal memo amid ongoing tensions regarding the network's direction, largely influenced by Shari Redstone's attempts to sell the company. McMahon noted that she and CBS no longer see eye to eye on future strategies. Her departure follows significant newsroom turmoil, including the resignation of a respected executive producer due to pressures on editorial coverage. CEO George Cheeks praised McMahonâs leadership, while CBS News management will now report directly to him.
"It's become clear that the company and I do not agree on the path forward. It's time for me to move on and for this organization to move forward with new leadership."
"Her meddling in the newsroom of CBS News... is believed to have led to the resignation of Bill Owens, the widely respected executive producer of 60 Minutes."
