HuffPost
CBS News Radio will close after nearly 100 years of operation, the company announced.
CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss and President Tom Cibrowski on Friday announced a new round of layoffs at the “Tiffany network” as well as the closure of CBS News Radio after nearly 100 years of operation.
The cuts are expected to affect roughly 6% of the 1,100 staffers in the newsroom, according to multiple reports.
“Today we are reducing the size of our workforce, and employees who are affected will be notified by the end of the day,” Weiss and Cibrowski wrote in a note to staff.
The pair attributed the decision to industry trends.
“It’s no secret that the news business is changing radically, and that we need to change along with it. New audiences are burgeoning in new places, and we are pressing forward with ambitious plans to grow and invest so that we can be there for them. That means some parts of our newsroom must get smaller to make room for the things we must build to remain competitive,” they added.
