CNN and CBS News Will Form Editorial Independence Board
Paramount Skydance will create an Editorial Independence Board for its combined CNN and CBS News units following the completion of its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery.
Board Purpose And Scope
The new board will establish news editorial principles based on existing standards from both outlets. It focuses on journalistic integrity, fairness, independence and accuracy for content distributed in the United States. The group will also resolve disputes between employees and management regarding alleged reporting bias or failure to meet agreed fairness standards.
Oversight And Monitoring
This body will monitor adherence to ethical journalism as defined by industry best practices. Its oversight extends to editorial independence from the combined entity's ownership and shareholders. The settlement between Paramount and state attorneys general requires this specific oversight structure.
