CBS News President and co-head Neeraj Khemlani, who has led the Tiffany Network’s news division and local TV stations for a little more than two years, abruptly announced Sunday that he would step down from his role. “I have some news to share today, and I don’t want to bury the lede,” read a memo from Khemlani to staffers. During his tenure, Khemlani bolstered CBS News’ reporting ranks, luring prominent journalists such as Robert Costa and Cecilia Vega to the outlet. The CBS News chief was the subject of a human resources probe earlier this year. Khemlani is the third network news chief to exit in 2023.
