Broadcast news veteran and award-winning journalist Tom Cibrowksi has been tapped to lead CBS News as president and executive editor, reporting to Wendy McMahon, president and CEO of CBS News and Television Stations and CBS Media Ventures.
In this role, Cibrowski will oversee CBS News, including newsgathering, all units and shows.
He brings more than 30 years of experience in every corner of journalism and broadcast television. Throughout his career, he has honed a deep understanding of the news landscape, ensuring that stories are told with fairness, integrity and impact. This also marks a return to CBS News for Cibrowski, who was a broadcast producer for CBS News’ “The Early Show.”
“Tom brings a clear vision, fresh perspective and competitive edge that will serve us well here at CBS News,” said McMahon. “From bringing GMA to #1 to his vast international experience, I have no doubt he will lead CBS News to new heights. He will be instrumental to our mission to elevate the quality of our news coverage and strengthen our commitment to excellence.”
“Journalism and storytelling are what CBS News does the best,” Cibrowski said. “There is simply no one better. I’m beyond thrilled to be returning to this iconic and unmatched organization and can’t wait to hit the ground running.”
Cibrowski spent 25 years at ABC News in multiple leadership roles. He served as senior vice president of ABC News Programs, News Gathering and Special Events where he was responsible for global newsgathering, breaking news and content across all ABC News programs and platforms, including “Good Morning America,” “World News Tonight,” “Nightline” and “20/20.”
At ABC, he rose through the “Good Morning America” ranks for over a decade. He served as senior executive producer of the broadcast when it took over the #1 morning show position from “Today” after 16 years, then described as a “once in a generation change.”
