Cecilia Vega

Cecilia Vega is a correspondent for the long-running CBS News program "60 Minutes." She is currently in the news because she was one of the top staffers and correspondents fired from the show on Thursday, as part of a broader overhaul of "60 Minutes." This decision was made by CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss and president Tom Cibrowski. The firings have drawn significant criticism from veteran CBS News employees, including "60 Minutes" anchor Scott Pelley. Pelley has accused CBS News management, specifically Bari Weiss, of "murdering" the show. Several dozen veterans have signed a letter urging the Paramount Skydance CEO to uphold the show's editorial independence following these recent developments.
