CBS News President Adrienne Roark Resigns After Six Months in Role

Roark departs CBS News to join Tegna as the network faces legal and operational challenges tied to its parent company, Paramount Global.

Adrienne Roark announced her resignation as CBS News president after six months, with plans to take a senior role at Tegna.
Her departure follows a series of leadership changes at CBS News, which has struggled to maintain stability in its executive ranks.
CBS News faces mounting pressures, including a $20 billion lawsuit from President Donald Trump over alleged election interference in a '60 Minutes' interview with Kamala Harris.
The lawsuit and regulatory scrutiny of Paramount Global's pending merger with Skydance Media have created significant uncertainty for the news division.
Roark's tenure included controversy over her reprimand of anchor Tony Dokoupil for an interview with author Ta-Nehisi Coates, drawing criticism from CBS's controlling shareholder, Shari Redstone.
