Sir Trevor Phillips, who joined CBS News as a correspondent for "60 Minutes" and senior global affairs correspondent, is defending Bari Weiss' approach to the network. In an interview with The Telegraph, Phillips clarified that the network's changes are not about being "anti-woke," as some have suggested. Instead, Weiss is striving for a "heterodox" newsroom with a variety of voices.
Phillips acknowledged the enormity of the task she faces, noting that CBS News is a large and well-established organization that she must transform. He praised Weiss for her potential to either significantly impact the news landscape or fail spectacularly. Phillips also commented on his own editorial philosophy, suggesting that television journalism has become too focused on personalities rather than reporting.
He believes this needs to change, emphasizing the importance of "returning to the business of reporting."
