Bari Weiss has two jobs. Since October, she has been the editor in chief of CBS News, a high-profile position that has put her under intense scrutiny from network staffers and outside critics.
But she never gave up her old gig running the Free Press, a conservative opinion website that CBS's parent company bought for $150 million. After a few months of modest overlap, including some Free Press staffers appearing on network streaming shows, Weiss has moved to accelerate the convergence of the two starkly different media brands.
