CBS Faces Leadership Shake‑Up
Tap title to read story
CBS News editor‑in‑chief Bari Weiss privately considered replacing “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan earlier this year, but the move never materialized. The program now faces a leadership shake‑up after senior executive producer Mary Hager announced her departure, ending 35 years at CBS News. Hager, who also served as executive editor of politics since 2022, played a prominent role in the network’s Washington bureau and its coverage of successive presidential elections. Anne Hsu, the show’s executive producer, is also leaving to take a new assignment at CBS News’ Hong Kong bureau. The two departures will leave Weiss with an opportunity to install new editorial leadership at “Face the Nation.”
