Paramount has acquired The Free Press and named its co-founder, Bari Weiss, as the new editor-in-chief of CBS News. Weiss, known for her critiques of mainstream media and "woke" culture, aims to shape how millions consume news. The Free Press, which boasts 1.5 million subscribers, will maintain its brand and operations. This move signals Paramount's intent to diversify editorial viewpoints and modernize content, potentially appealing to a broader audience.
