As an industry, we are placing greater emphasis on fact-checking, cross-referencing sources, and providing context to our audience, which is incredibly important as we rebuild trust with consumers. One of our mantras is that trust must be earned and if you know how it’s made, you can trust what it says.
2. Our resolution to viewers in 2025 is that we will remain committed to delivering real journalism done by real journalists. Our strength is our many journalists, that report from everywhere, talk to everyone and have deep expertise in the fields they are reporting on. That gigantic teamwork by extraordinary and committed journalists is what makes us able to pursue truth with no agenda and cover breaking news as well as uncovering investigative reports with impartiality, accuracy and transparency, day in, day out, 24/7 and across the world.
David Reiter, senior vice president of CBS News 24/7, Special Events, and Special Projects
1. 2024 showed us the challenges and opportunities we face. I like to focus on the opportunities. I’m optimistic about the strong momentum we have with CBS News 24/7 streaming network, and the opportunity to grow our audiences by expanding the number of live hours we offer every day and making sure the best of CBS News shows up on streaming too.
2025 is going to bring hugely important events—and there will be plenty of moments to reimagine and experiment with how we bring valuable information to our viewers across platforms. I’m optimistic we will continue to show up—even when it’s hard—to fulfill our responsibility to viewers. In a time of huge change, there’s one constant – being in news media is never boring!
Shawna Thomas, executive producer of CBS Mornings and CBS Mornings Plus
2. Our resolution to viewers in 2025 is to not make assumptions or jump to conclusions. We will take what is happening in the world, report on it, and take the time to help the audience understand the news by providing the context it deserves. As a network that provides broadcasts, as well as a streaming news channel, to the public for free, we have a responsibility to multiple things. We must report the news and help people understand the why behind that news.
