Sharyn Alfonsi is reportedly set to leave 60 Minutes and CBS News at the end of May 2026, when her current contract expires. Her departure follows a significant public clash (https://www.lipstickalley.com/threads/sharyn-alfonsi-set-to-leave-60-minutes-and-cbs-news-after-clash-over-airing-of-report.6123475/#post-115329480) with CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss over the temporary shelving of an investigative report.

Sharyn Alfonsi officially loses her 60 Minutes contract, blasts CBS News for penalizing “a journalist for refusing to sanitize accurate reporting." (https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/27/business/media/cbs-sharyn-alfonsi-bari-weiss.html)

CBS News has declined to renew the contract (https://www.google.com/search?q=Sharyn+Alfonsi+officially+loses+her+60+Minutes+contract%2C+blasts+CBS+News+for+penalizing+%E2%80%9Ca+journalist+for+refusing+to+sanitize+accurate+reporting.%22&oq=Sharyn+Alfonsi+officially+loses+her+60+Minutes+contract%2C+blasts+CBS+News+for+penalizing+%E2%80%9Ca+journalist+for+refusing+to+sanitize+accurate+reporting.%22&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBCDY0NmowajE1qAIIsAIB8QX_p344toFONfEF_6d-OLaBTjU&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&source=chrome.rb) of 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi. The nonrenewal stems from a high-profile editorial clash in December over a delayed segment detailing allegations of abuse and torture at a controversial prison in El Salvador. The friction between Alfonsi and CBS leadership escalated when network editor-in-chief Bari Weiss pulled the investigative piece at the eleventh hour, requesting additional reporting and official administration responses. The segment eventually aired, but the delay sparked internal friction and allegations of self-censorship.
