CBS Newspath
CBS Newspath is CBS News' satellite news gathering service
(similar to
CNN Newsource).
CBS
Newspath provides national hard news, sports highlights,
regional spot news, features and live coverage of major breaking
news events for affiliate stations to use in their local news
broadcasts.
CBS Newspath has a team of domestic and global
correspondents and freelance reporters dedicated to reporting for
affiliates and offers several different national or international
stories fronted by reporters on a daily basis.
CBS
Newspath also relies heavily on local affiliates sharing
content. Stations will often contribute locally-obtained footage
that may be of national interest.
Network News Service (NNS) is a pioneering news
organization formed by ABC News One,
CBS Newspath and Fox
News Edge. Launched in June 2000, its subscriber list already
includes more than 500 ABC, CBS and Fox affiliates throughout the
United States. The three news distributors created NNS to
cost-effectively pool resources for developing and delivering
second tier news stories and b-roll footage. The goal was to
realize cost savings in the creation and distribution of these news
images, while news organizations and member TV stations continued
to independently develop and deliver their own signature coverage
of top news stories.
CBS Radio Network News
The branch of CBS News that produces newscasts and features to
radio stations is CBS Radio News, which airs on the
CBS Radio Network. The radio network is
the oldest unit of CBS and traced its roots to the company's
founding in 1927, and the news division took shape over the
following 10 years. The list of CBS News correspondents (below)
includes those reporting on CBS Radio News.
CBS Radio News produces the oldest daily news show on radio or
television, the
CBS World
News Roundup (it first aired in 1938 and celebrated its
70th anniversary in 2008), which airs each morning and evening.
Nick Young anchors the original morning
broadcast, produced by Paul Farry, while
Bill Whitney hosts the evening edition,
produced by Greg Armstrong. The evening
Roundup,
previously known as
The World Tonight, has aired in its
current form since 1956 and has been anchored by Blair Clark,
Douglas Edwards,
Dallas Townsend and
Christopher Glenn.
The CBS Radio Network provides newscasts at the top of the hour,
regular updates at :31 past the hour, the popular Newsfeeds for
affiliates (including WCBS and KYW) at :35, and breaking news
updates when developments warrant, often at :20 and :50 past the
hour.
Westwood One handles the
distribution.

Controversies
In 1964, Rep. Jimmy Utt (R-Cal.) filed a libel suit against CBS regarding a CBS Reports "Case History of a Rumor" program. He claimed the defendants had "'entrapped' him into giving a television interview that turned out to be a 'cross examination' by Roger Mudd, who acted as 'prosecutor, judge, and jury.'" The case was dismissed. Utt died in office in 1970 and was succeeded by John G. Schmitz.
In a speech in 1971, Vice-President
Spiro
Agnew accused CBS News of disseminating "deceptive,
self-serving propaganda". He quoted from reports by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) and the Special Subcommittee on
Investigations of the House Commerce Committee. These reports
mentioned a CBS documentary called "Project Nassau", an effort to
depose the
François Duvalier
regime in Haiti. "The House Subcommittee found that CBS had, in
effect, financially subsidized a planned 1966 invasion of Haiti in
order to make a documentary on the event." In his deposition, Tom
Dunkin, journalist for the
Atlanta
Journal, said that producer Jay McMullen of CBS told him in
November, 1966 that he had "spent a lot of time and money on this
project and had nothing to show for it". (In January 1967 the
project ended with the arrest of 75 participants.)
Van Gordon Sauter became president of CBS News in 1982 and cut
several CBS veterans from the newsroom, working toward a
style-over-substance format CBS anchor
Walter Cronkite described as
infotainment. Cronkite said he felt as if he
was being pushed out the door by Van Sauter and his staff, and
treated as a "leper."
In a September 1, 2004 CBS news commentary, titled "Vice President
Dick Agnew", CBS editorial director Dick Meyer said that Vice
President Cheney "drew from a different tradition typified by Spiro
Agnew" in a tradition that "uses the hired help to do the political
dirty work."
