In the U.S. media world, CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss publicly addressed the firing of veteran journalist Scott Pelley from 60 Minutes. “Despite our attempts to engage with Scott Pelley and to find a way back, unfortunately we weren’t able to do so, and so we had to part ways,” Weiss said. She added, pointedly: “That’s the path that he chose.” The departure of Pelley — a decades-long fixture at CBS — marks another seismic shift in American broadcast journalism under Weiss’s leadership.
