CBS Does Not Renew Contract of Correspondent After Controversial Segment on DeporteesPreviousNext

CBS correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi continues working at the network without a renewed contract and is unlikely to return to '60 Minutes.' Her contract non-renewal follows controversy over a segment on Venezuelan deportees alleging abuse in an El Salvador prison, which CBS initially pulled citing political concerns. The network's restructuring under Paramount Skydance, led by editor Bari Weiss, aims to reflect diverse ideological views, amid tensions over editorial decisions and external political pressures.
