CBS News staffers sent a letter to Trump-aligned boss David Ellison to demand he uphold journalistic values, Ben Mullins, The New York Times’ media editor, shared Monday on X.
“Modernizing the show for new audiences and new delivery approaches is important – but not at the cost of editorial integrity,” part of the letter reads. “The wholesale dismissal of editorial management, without a public pledge to maintain the values, standards, and traditions of this program, puts the legacy of ’60 Minutes’ in jeopardy.”
The letter is signed by current and former “60 Minutes” staffers, as well as other prominent journalists and actors, including Dan Rather, Glenn Close, Alex Gibney and Lowell Bergman.
The letter follows a massive shakeup at “60 Minutes” and festering questions about the future of the venerable news program. HuffPost reached out to CBS News for comment.
