Sharyn Alfonsi, a correspondent for “60 Minutes,” says CBS News does not renew her contract after a dispute over an episode segment. Multiple outlets report that her contract ends and CBS declines to offer a renewal as she prepares to leave the program for its upcoming season. Alfonsi previously accused CBS News leadership, including editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, of political or corporate interference after CBS abruptly shelved a segment she reported about the CECOT prison in El Salvador. In the coverage, Alfonsi says she refused to alter or “sanitize” factually accurate reporting and that the outcome sends a “chilling message” to the newsroom. She also says her inquiries through her agent to CBS News about contract renewal were met with little or no response. The reports describe a broader controversy around the shelved prison segment and the editorial direction of CBS News. Overall, the sources agree on the main points that the segment was removed, Alfonsi publicly challenged CBS leadership, and her contract with “60 Minutes” ends without renewal.
