CBS News is set to add a host of new contributors to the network under the direction of new Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss.
According to a report from Puck’s Dylan Byers, the network is adding former National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster, ex-Marine Elliot Ackerman, emerging trends reporter Casey Lewis, and chef/food writer Clare de Boer to its roster of contributors.
McMaster is the most notable name on the list of new contributors. He served as the National Security Advisor during President Donald Trump’s first term in office. He exited the role in March 2018, before officially retiring from the military in May of that year.
H.R. McMaster is no stranger to the media world. Following his military exit, he began hosting a podcast called Today’s Battlegrounds, discussing the intersection of national security and economic prosperity.
The report from Byers indicates that most contributors to CBS News receive a $30,000 payment upfront before receiving $1,000 per appearance on the network.
CBS News has not yet confirmed any of those reports about potential new additions.
