Friedman Becomes Senior VP At CBS

CBS News VP Paul Friedman is being promoted to senior vice president, effective immediately.

“This is a recognition that Paul has become my principal deputy, even beyond his primary responsibilities for hard news coverage, the CBS Evening News and our Special Events and political coverage,” Sean McManus says. “I look forward to working with him even more closely as we continue to aggressively rebuild and move CBS News forward.”
