The inside story of how CBS News ended a correspondent’s 10 years on 60 Minutes has been revealed.
Sharyn Alfonsi, who has been at the storied newsmagazine for a decade, was never directly informed by Bari Weiss’s new-look CBS News that her contract would not be renewed when it expired over the weekend, Status reported.
Her representatives were kept in the dark throughout the process, it added. Under the structure of her deal, Alfonsi now technically remains in professional limbo as an at-will employee unless CBS News formally terminates her. Alfonsi told The New York Times she had no intention of making it easy for CBS News by resigning. “They’ll have to fire me,” she said.
