By Dawn Chmielewski and Helen Coster LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison has named Bari Weiss editor-in-chief of CBS News, as part of a deal to acquire the online news site she founded, The Free Press. The companies did not disclose the deal value in Monday's announcement. A source familiar with the matter said it was for $150 million. In an essay announcing the deal Monday, Weiss, 41, said the deal provides "a chance to help reshape a storied media organization—to help guide CBS News into a future that honors those great values that underpin The Free Press and the best of American journalism." The announcement capped months of talks between Ellison and Weiss. The newly minted media baron first floated the idea at July's Allen & Co conference in Sun Valley, a frequent staging ground for major media mergers, according to media reports. Weiss resigned as an opinion writer for the New York Times in July 2020, in a 1,500-word open letter in which she described being the subject of "constant bullying" by colleagues who disagreed with her views. FROM NEW YORK TIMES TO START-UP, AND BACK TO LEGACY MEDIA In 2022, she founded her new media company on a credo of "honesty, doggedness, and fierce independence." In a letter to Paramount employees Monday, Ellison wrote that the company is a steward of one of the world's most iconic news organizations. “We are challenging ourselves to do better – recognizing that we have the ability to reach a broad audience and demonstrate constructive, respectful, and bipartisan dialogue in our own work,” he wrote. Weiss “brings a passion for reaching broad audiences through rigorous, fact-based reporting and a relentless commitment to amplifying voices from all corners of the spectrum,” he wrote. In a letter to CBS News employees, Weiss said that CBS was part of her family tradition. "Whenever I hear that tick, tick, tick or that trumpet fanfare, it sends me right back to our den in Pittsburgh," Weiss wrote in the letter seen by Reuters. "The opportunity to build on that legacy with you — and to renew it in an era that so desperately needs it — is an extraordinary privilege." Weiss said she wanted to hear from the staff at CBS News about what's working and what's not, with the goal of making CBS News the most-trusted news organization in America. She promised to listen with "an open mind, a fresh notebook and an urgent deadline." FREE PRESS CHALLENGES CONVENTIONAL NARRATIVES The Free Press has earned a reputation for challenging conventional narratives. Notable articles include a first-person essay from a then-senior editor at NPR, who accused the public radio network of liberal bias that cost it listeners' trust. Another offered a whistleblower account of the Washington University Transgender Center at the St. Louis Children's Hospital, which reported vulnerable teenagers with mental health problems rushed into life-altering treatments. In a 2023 essay in Tablet magazine, Weiss argued for the dismantling of institutional diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, writing that the movement "threatens not just Jews—but America itself." Online, the reaction to her hiring has been mixed. Nikole Hannah-Jones, a reporter covering racial injustice for The New York Times Magazine, wrote on the Bluesky platform Monday: “In case it wasn’t clear, the anti-DEI crusade has never been about merit. Zero news experience. Never been a reporter. Elevated to Editor in Chief of CBS News, one of the most storied news institutions in the nation.” Weiss will report directly to David Ellison and help set an editorial course for CBS News. The network's evening news broadcast is in third place behind its television peers. She will work with CBS News President Tom Cibrowski, who joined in 2025 after spending 25 years at ABC News in a variety of leadership positions. Cibrowski will continue to report to George Cheeks, Paramount's chair of TV Media. The Free Press, which has about 1.5 million subscribers including 170,000 paying members, will remain independent, retaining its brand and operations, the companies said. The Free Press will continue to publish. Major media and tech companies are now controlled by supporters of President Donald Trump or billionaire business leaders who lined up behind him during his inauguration, donated to his inaugural fund or visited the White House with gifts. The son of longtime Trump supporter Larry Ellison, David Ellison, helped secure regulatory approval for his company Skydance Media to buy Paramount, with the promise that the CBS network would reflect "a diversity of viewpoints from across the political and ideological spectrum," according to a statement from Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr announcing the deal. Prior to the deal, Paramount paid $16 million to settle a 2024 lawsuit Trump filed over a "60 Minutes" interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris, which he claimed gave a distorted view of his rival for the White House. The FCC has said the settlement and regulatory review were unrelated. In early September, the company announced the appointment of its new ombudsman, Kenneth Weinstein, a former president and CEO of the conservative Hudson Institute.

NEW YORK (Reuters) -Bitcoin hovered near its record high on Monday as the world's largest cryptocurrency by market value continued to benefit from strong demand from investors. The rally in bitcoin since the start of the year has been underpinned by flows from institutional investors, friendlier policies of the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump, and increasing connection with global financial systems. Bitcoin climbed above $125,000 for the first time on Sunday, rising to $125,653.32. It was last up 1.66% to $124,861.70, on course for the second straight session of gains. It is has gained more than 33% this year. (Reporting by Chibuike Oguh in New York; Editing by Chizu Nomiyama )

By Karen Brettell NEW YORK (Reuters) -The Japanese yen and euro weakened against the dollar on Monday on fiscal and political stability concerns after Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party elected a new leader and France's new government quit. The yen declined after Japan's ruling party picked conservative Sanae Takaichi, an advocate of late premier Shinzo Abe's "Abenomics" strategy to boost the economy with aggressive spending and easy monetary policy, as its head on Saturday. Her victory caused traders to reduce bets that the Bank of Japan will hike interest rates this month. “It was unexpected that it was going to be Takaichi,” said Sarah Ying, head of FX strategy, FICC Strategy at CIBC Capital Markets in Toronto. “There's a little bit more focus on the back end of the curve now, just given that Takaichi is generally seen as a follower of Abenomics. The market expects a little bit more fiscal stimulus there.” The dollar at one point rose more than 2% to 150.47 yen, its highest level since August 1. It was last up 1.64% at 149.86, and if sustained, that would be its biggest daily gain since May 12. The euro reached 176.25 yen, the highest since the single currency was introduced in 1999. It was last up 1.28% at 175.38 yen. The euro slid against the dollar and the pound, however, after France's new Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu and his government resigned on Monday, hours after Lecornu announced his cabinet line-up, making it the shortest-lived administration in modern French history. “It's not really too much of an existential crisis, it doesn't look great domestically given especially what's going on with the budget,” said Ying. “The biggest risk is really if (President) Macron resigns, but it doesn't seem to be a high-risk scenario.” The euro was last down 0.35% at $1.1699 and earlier reached $1.1649, the lowest since September 25. It also dipped against the pound to its lowest since September 18. The dollar index rose 0.5% to 98.16. Traders are waiting for signs that the U.S. federal government will reopen, with Congress so far unable to pass a bill to continue funding operations. The shutdown is leaving a void of U.S. economic data, with last Friday’s closely watched monthly jobs report for September delayed along with other key releases until the government reopens. The Federal Reserve is widely expected to cut rates again by 25 basis points at its October 28-29 meeting, following data that shows a weakening labor market. Traders are also pricing in 82% odds of an additional cut in December, according to the CME Group's FedWatch Tool, though this will likely depend on data released before then. In cryptocurrencies, bitcoin was last up 1.98% at $125,208, after reaching a record high of $125,653 on Sunday.

Cherney SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) -AMD said on Monday it will supply artificial intelligence chips to OpenAI in a multi-year deal that would bring in tens of billions of dollars in annual revenue and give the ChatGPT creator the option to buy up to roughly 10% of the chipmaker. Shares of AMD surged more than 34% to touch a more than one-year high of $226.71 and added $80 billion to its market capitalization. The latest deal, among a string of investment commitments, is a testament to OpenAI and the broader AI industry's voracious appetite for computing power as companies race toward developing AI technology that meets or exceeds human intelligence. The deal offers OpenAI an opportunity to take a stake in one of Nvidia's most formidable rivals and is a major vote of confidence in AMD's AI chips and software. "We view this deal as certainly transformative, not just for AMD, but for the dynamics of the industry," AMD executive vice president Forrest Norrod told Reuters on Sunday. The agreement covers the deployment of hundreds of thousands of AMD's AI chips, or graphics processing units (GPUs), equivalent to six gigawatts, over several years beginning in the second half of 2026. This is roughly equivalent to the energy needs of 5 million U.S. households, or the electricity produced by the Hoover Dam thrice over. AMD said OpenAI would build a one-gigawatt facility based on its forthcoming MI450 series of chips beginning next year, and that it would begin to recognize revenue then. AMD executives expect the deal to net tens of billions of dollars in annual revenue. Because of the ripple effect of the agreement, AMD expects to receive more than $100 billion in new revenue over four years from OpenAI and other customers, they said. "Other people are going to come along with it because this is really the pioneer, a pioneer in the industry that has a lot of influence over the broader ecosystem," AMD strategy chief Mat Hein said. The deal with AMD will help OpenAI build enough AI infrastructure to meet its needs, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in a statement. It was not immediately clear how OpenAI would fund the massive deal with AMD. OpenAI has generated around $4.3 billion in revenue in the first half of 2025 and has burned through $2.5 billion in cash, according to media reports, as the startup splurges on attracting top talent, while investing heavily in developing new AI tools. Analysts, on average, estimate AMD will generate revenue of $32.78 billion this year, according to LSEG data. As part of the arrangement, AMD issued a warrant that gives OpenAI the ability to buy up to 160 million shares of AMD for 1 cent each over the course of the chips deal. The warrant vests in tranches based on milestones that the two companies have agreed on. The first tranche will vest after the initial shipment of MI450 chips set for the second half of 2026. The remaining milestones include specific AMD stock price targets that escalate to $600 a share for the final installment of stock to unlock. OpenAI has a valuation of $500 billion. OPENAI WANTS MORE GPUs OpenAI has worked with AMD for years, providing inputs on the design of older generations of AI chips such as the MI300X. The San Francisco-based AI company has been taking a number of steps to ensure it has the chips needed for its future needs. In September, Nvidia announced an investment of up to $100 billion in OpenAI that included a plan to supply at least 10 gigawatts worth of Nvidia systems. The plan includes OpenAI deploying a gigawatt of Nvidia's next-generation Vera Rubin chips in late 2026. Altman has floated expectations of reaching 250 gigawatts of compute in total by 2033, The Information has reported. In addition to using Nvidia hardware, cloud computing giants such as Alphabet's Google and Amazon build their own in-house processors. Similarly, OpenAI is in the process of developing its own silicon for AI use and has partnered with Broadcom, Reuters reported last year. Shares of Nvidia dipped more than 1%, while those of Broadcom were little changed. OpenAI and its main backer Microsoft also announced last month that they had signed a non-binding agreement to restructure OpenAI into a for-profit entity, signaling further changes in the governance of the fast-growing AI company. A person familiar with the matter said the deal with AMD does not change any of OpenAI's ongoing compute plans, including that effort or its partnership with Microsoft. (Reporting by Max A.
