The Guardian’s Jeremy Barr reports that CBS News’ editor in chief, Bari Weiss, described the situation during the network’s morning editorial call as an “enormously difficult day for so many people.” However, CNN’s Brian Stelter also notes the layoffs affecting CBS News were already planned before Weiss arrived at the network.

John Dickerson, who took over as co-anchor of CBS' evening news broadcast in January following the departure of Norah O'Donnell, is leaving the network at the end of the year. Dickerson shared the news in an Instagram post on Monday, Oct. 27.
