Former ‘60 Minutes’ correspondent Cecilia Vega has accused CBS News leadership of interfering with her reporting after she was dismissed from the programme. The allegation raises questions about editorial independence at the broadcaster during a reported overhaul of its flagship current-affairs show.

Fox News reported that Vega, Sharyn Alfonsi and senior producer Tanya Simon were fired from ‘60 Minutes’ amid changes led by editor-in-chief Bari Weiss. The supplied article text does not detail the alleged interference, specific reports affected, or CBS News’s response to Vega’s claim.
