Bari Weiss was hired to remake CBS News. Hereβs how itβs working out so far.
Bari Weiss took over as editor in chief in October, launching a new era for CBS News amid layoffs, confusion and shifting expectations.
One month into Bari Weissβs tenure as editor in chief at CBS News, staffers are weathering a flurry of layoffs, shifting resources and a cultural collision with Weissβs ideas of how to tackle the news.
Hereβs a look into the evolving TV newsroom:

With Grokipedia, Top-Down Control of Knowledge Is New Again | TechPolicy.Press
Ryan McGrady asks, who is Grokipedia for, other than its owner?
My fellow Wikimedian @antisomniac.bsky.social wrote about Grokipedia: "All of this is ultimately subordinate to Grokipedia's unavoidable prime directive of neutrality: neutrality is whatever Elon Musk says is neutral."

A Wikipedia Conference Took a Dark Turn. Unfortunately, Itβs Not a Total Surprise.
An armed man at a gathering of the websiteβs volunteers is just the latest reminder: Editing the internetβs encyclopedia has never been riskier.
Felt this was important to write for @slate.com to capture the experience of Wikipedia editors who were there in the room as the armed man took the stage at last weekend's Wikipedia conference.
Pharos and Fuzheado showed courage & quick thinking by taking down the gunman and averting tragedy.
