"It wasn't an isolated editorial argument. In my view, it was the result of a more aggressive contagion: the spread of corporate meddling and editorial fear. It's hard to watch."
"Thank you for this award. I didn't know that the theme was hope. My hope recently has been that I still have a job."
Sharyn Alfonsi raised concerns about corporate influence and editorial fear at CBS News after opposing a directive to alter a segment on Venezuelans in El Salvador. She received the Ridenhour prize for courage and spoke about the incident, which involved CBS editor Bari Weiss shelving the segment for political reasons. The segment aired later without significant changes, lacking a Trump administration interview. Alfonsi's job security is uncertain as she faces potential jeopardy ahead of the show's new season, expressing hope for her future at CBS.
