1. Here& #39;s the question I have. CBS News is laying off people but what sacrifices are people like Susan Zirinsky making? Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott has taken a 50% pay cut through Sept.
I& #39;ve checked and Zirinsky hasn& #39;t announced taking a compensation cut to help save jobs https://twitter.com/jeremymbarr/status/1265784857705295878">https://twitter.com/jeremymba...

2. What are CBS on-air talent who make 7 figures doing to save jobs at their network? The way network contracts are normally structured for on-air talent, their compensation can& #39;t be cut like staffers, but have any of them given up to save jobs?
Doesn& #39;t seem like it...

3. These are things reporters at print/digital outlets can& #39;t do easily because they& #39;re not making $3-12 million dollars a year. Still, reporters at LA Times were able to strike a deal to avoid layoffs in exchange for 20% across the board salary reductions https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2020-05-01/la-times-guild-members-20-percent-pay-reduction-coronavirus">https://www.latimes.com/entertain...
4. I think it& #39;s an important discussion to have...what are the multi-millionaires at these networks doing to save the jobs of their colleagues? If you& #39;re making $12 million a year, can you make $10 million just this year and save 20 jobs? 20 families who won& #39;t have to struggle?
5. In 2009, @katiecouric voluntarily gave up $1 million of her salary to save jobs at CBS News
If 50 people lost their jobs this time around as some reports suggest, it wouldn& #39;t take much for Susan Zirinsky & some of her top on-air talent to save jobs https://www.huffpost.com/entry/katie-couric-quietly-took-1-million-pay-cut-while-at-cbs-to-save-jobs_n_57b60b22e4b00d9c3a1654b9">https://www.huffpost.com/entry/kat...

6. Terrible news.
Three sources familiar with the matter tell me that one of the people laid off by CBS News is White House reporter @markknoller who is a journalistic institution. Mark also functions as a White House historian for many reporters and so many of us on Twitter.

7. Iâm also told by three sources familiar with the matter that CBS News Pentagon reporter Cami McCormick has been laid off.
While reporting for CBS in Afghanistan in 2009, Cami lost her leg after an IED hit a US Army vehicle she was traveling in. https://www.washingtonian.com/2014/06/30/war-torn-cbs-reporter-cami-mccormicks-latest-story-about-combat-and-its-aftermath-is-her-own/">https://www.washingtonian.com/2014/06/3...

8. Another legend laid off by CBS News, Dean Reynolds.
Dean has served as a mentor and an inspiration for many on-air reporters.
What a loss.
