Tom Cibrowski, president of CBS News, announced a new editorial leadership structure that includes a foreign editor role, which will be filled by Shayndi Raice from the Wall Street Journal starting May 11. Day joined CBS News in 2002 and has played a significant role in overseeing international coverage, including the recent Israel-Gaza conflict, for which she was nominated for an Emmy Award. The tensions reportedly arose between Day and editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, who is known for her strong opinions on media bias.
