CBS News Restructures Leadership Team

CBS News and Stations has appointed Adrienne Roark as president of editorial and newsgathering and Jennifer Mitchell as president of stations and digital, reflecting a significant restructuring aimed at enhancing collaboration between local and national news operations. Roark, who previously led content development, will assume responsibilities from Ingrid Ciprián-Matthews, overseeing field teams and CBS News Radio, while managing several CBS stations in New York and Boston. Mitchell will oversee 23 of the 27 CBS-owned stations and the division's digital platforms, expanding her portfolio to include additional Eastern stations previously managed by Roark. Both leaders will report to Wendy McMahon, who emphasized the goal of creating a next-generation news organization by enhancing coverage and operational efficiency. This restructuring comes as CBS aims to adapt to the evolving media landscape impacted by the rise of streaming. Additional promotions within CBS News include Alvin Patrick and Terri Stewart, who will take on expanded roles in documentary and newsgathering operations, respectively.
