A woman with Irish media experience who a decade ago spent a year at New York’s NPR Member station has been selected for the role of executive editor of a new unit focused on misinformation within CBS News and Standards.
Taking the role at CBS News Confirmed is Rhona Tarrant. She starts on April 1 and will report to CBS News and Stations SVP Claudia Milne, who heads standards and practices.
CBS News Confirmed is a new initiative that brings together a team of journalists who use data and technology to verify and fact-check questionable videos and reports and explain CBS News’ verification process. “CBS News Confirmed represents an investment in several key areas: hiring forensic journalists, new training, state-of-the-art technology and other tools, all focused on ensuring that CBS News combats misinformation and ensures the accuracy of its reporting,” CBS says.
