Up until April 2021, the president and senior executive producer of CBS News was
Susan Zirinsky, who assumed the role on March 1, 2019. Zirinsky, the first female president of the network's news division, was announced as the choice to replace
David Rhodes on January 6, 2019.
The announcement came amid news that Rhodes would step down as president of CBS News "amid falling ratings and the fallout from revelations from an investigation into sexual misconduct allegations" against CBS News figures and Rhodes.
On April 15, 2021, CBS Television Stations and CBS News announced that their respective divisions would merge into one entity,
to be named
CBS News and Stations. It was also announced that
Neeraj Khemlani (former executive vice president of
Hearst Newspapers) and
Wendy McMahon (former president of the
ABC Owned Television Stations Group) were named presidents and co-heads. This transition was completed on May 3, 2021. On August 14, 2023, after Khemlani announced he was stepping down, CBS News named McMahon as its sole president and CEO. The next day on August 15, CBS News appointed
Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews, who supervised the Washington, D.C. bureau as its president. She stepped down in July 2024.
History
In 1929, the
Columbia Broadcasting System began making regular radio news broadcasts, which were five-minute summaries taken from reports from
United Press, one of the three wire services that supplied newspapers with national and international news. In December 1930, CBS chief
William S. Paley

hired journalist
Paul W. White away from United Press as CBS's news editor. Paley put the radio network's news operation at the same level as entertainment, and authorized White to interrupt programming if events warranted. Along with other networks, CBS chafed at the
breaking news embargo imposed upon radio by the wire services, which prevented them from using bulletins until they first appeared in print. CBS disregarded an embargo when it broke the story of the
Lindbergh kidnapping in 1932, using live on-the-air reporting. Radio networks scooped print outlets with news of the
1932 presidential election.
[ Dunning, John, ''On the Air: The Encyclopedia of Old-Time Radio''. New York: Oxford University Press, Inc., 1998 hardcover; revised edition of ''Tune In Yesterday'' (1976)]
In March 1933, White was named vice president and general manager in charge of news at CBS.
As the first head of CBS News, he began to build an organization that soon established a legendary reputation.
In 1935, White hired
Edward R. Murrow, and sent him to London in 1937 to run CBS Radio's European operation.

) in 1941, the pioneer CBS television station in New York City broadcast two daily news programs, at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. weekdays, anchored by Richard Hubbell (journalist). Most of the newscasts featured Hubbell reading a script with only occasional cutaways to a map or still photograph. When
Pearl Harbor was bombed on December 7, 1941, WCBW (which was usually off the air on Sunday to give the engineers a day off), took to the air at 8:45 p.m. with an extensive special report. The national emergency even broke down the unspoken wall between CBS radio and television. WCBW executives convinced radio announcers and experts such as George Fielding Elliot and Linton Wells to come down to the Grand Central studios during the evening and give information and commentary on the attack. The WCBW special report that night lasted less than 90 minutes. But that special broadcast pushed the limits of live television in 1941 and opened up new possibilities for future broadcasts. As CBS wrote in a special report to the
Federal Communications Commission

(FCC), the unscheduled live news broadcast on December 7 "was unquestionably the most stimulating challenge and marked the greatest advance of any single problem faced up to that time."
Additional newscasts were scheduled in the early days of the war. In May 1942, WCBW, like most television stations, sharply cut back its live program schedule and the newscasts were canceled, since the station temporarily suspended studio operations, resorting exclusively to the occasional broadcast of films. This was primarily because much of the staff had either joined the service or were redeployed to war related technical research, and to prolong the life of the early, unstable cameras which were now impossible to repair due to the wartime lack of parts.

Ned Calmer, and then by Everett Holles. After the end of World War II, expanded news programs appeared on the WCBW schedule – whose call letters were changed to WCBS-TV in 1946 – first anchored by Milo Boulton, and later by
Douglas Edwards. On May 3, 1948, Edwards began anchoring ''CBS Television News'', a regular 15-minute nightly newscast on the CBS television network, including WCBS-TV. It aired every weeknight at 7:30 p.m., and was the first regularly scheduled, network television news program featuring an anchor (the nightly

President Donald Trump sued CBS News over a ''60 Minutes'' interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris, alleging that the network engaged in election interference through deceptive editing.
The lawsuit, which seeks $10 billion in damages, claims that CBS violated the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act by airing two different edits of Harris' response to a question about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
As of February 6, 2025, CBS's parent company, Paramount Global, is reportedly considering settling the lawsuit ahead of a planned merger with Skydance Media, despite the network's initial statement that it would "vigorously defend" against the suit.

The information on programs listed in this section came directly from CBS News in interviews with the Vice President of Communications and NewsWatch Dallas.
According to the CBS News Library and source Sandy Genelius (Vice President, CBS News Communications), the "CBS Evening News" was the program title for both Saturday and Sunday evening broadcasts. The program title for the Sunday late night news beginning in 1963 was the "CBS Sunday Night News". These titles were also seen on the intro slide of the program's opening. The program airs on Saturday, and Sunday nights at 7:00 p.m.–7:30 p.m. UTC (Eastern Time) on CBS.

CBS News Radio
CBS News produces newscasts and features for radio stations through
CBS News Radio, which is the oldest unit of CBS and tracings its roots to the company's founding in 1927, and the news division took shape over the decade that followed. The list of CBS News correspondents (below) includes those reporting on CBS News Radio.
CBS News Radio produces the oldest daily news show on radio or television, the ''
CBS World News Roundup'', which first aired in 1938; in 2018, it celebrated its 80th anniversary. The ''World News Roundup'' airs twice every weekday, broadcasting a morning edition anchored by Steve Kathan and produced by Paul Farry, and a late edition anchored by Dave Barrett and produced by James Hutton. The evening ''Roundup'', previously known as ''The World Tonight'', has aired in its current form since 1956, and has been anchored by Blair Clark,
Douglas Edwards,
Dallas Townsend, and
Christopher Glenn, Glenn also anchored the morning ''Roundup'' prior to his death in 2006.

CBS Newspath
CBS Newspath is CBS News' satellite news-gathering service, similar in format to
CNN Newsource. Newspath provides national hard news, sports highlights, regional spot news, features and live coverage of major
breaking news events for affiliate stations to use in their local news broadcasts. The service has a team of domestic and global correspondents and freelance reporters dedicated to reporting for affiliates, and offers several different national or international stories fronted by reporters on a daily basis. CBS Newspath also relies heavily on local affiliates sharing content. Stations will often contribute locally obtained footage that may be of national interest. It replaced a similar service, CBS News NewsNet.
In late 1999, the news-gathering arms of CBS (Newspath), ABC (NewsOne) and Fox (NewsEdge) agreed to form a joint-venture
footage sharing pool, known as ''Network News Service''.
CBS News 24/7
