Christopher Isham, who has been the Washington Bureau chief at CBS News for more than a decade, will cede many of his duties to focus more intently on coverage around the 2020 election before leaving the company at the end of the year.
In a memo to staffers, CBS News President Susan Zirinsky said Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews, an executive vice president who oversees recruitment and development at the ViacomCBS unit and has worked there since 1993, will serve as an interim head of the bureau while leading the search for its next top executive, along with Zirinsky and Kim Godwin, executive vice president of news.

Closed last week after people began testing positive for Covid-19, the building began to reopen with skeleton crews, but now it’s closed again. The local anchors cut to La-based Hermela Aregawi, who quarterbacked the newscast and introduced numerous CBS News This Morning journalists, all standing in the rain, in streets all over New York.
While it is surreal to imagine the CBS Broadcast Center has become a prop – Wcbs-tv anchors Maurice DuBois and Kristine Johnson also did last night’s local...
