Why Planned Parenthood is bolstering its news division
CNN
Kate Smith was a reporter for CBS News for several years, and her main beat was reproductive rights.
Now she works for an organization that what was one of her main sources. Last year, Smith left CBS to work as the senior director of news content for Planned Parenthood.
On "Reliable Sources" Sunday, Smith said there were several reasons why she decided on the career move. But the most relevant reason, she said, was because her editor was no longer interested in covering abortion policies and reproductive health as a dedicated beat— a topic she had spend much of her career becoming an expert in.

One year ago this week, Joe Biden was president. I was in Doha, Qatar, negotiating with Israel and Hamas to finalize a ceasefire and hostage release deal. The incoming Trump team worked closely with us, a rare display of nonpartisanship to free hostages and end a war. It feels like a decade ago. A lot can happen in a year, as 2025 has shown.
