Tom Cibrowski
Broadcast news veteran and award-winning journalist Tom Cibrowski is president and executive editor of CBS News, where he oversees CBS News, including all newsgathering, units, and broadcasts. He reports to Wendy McMahon, president and CEO of CBS News and Television Stations and CBS Media Ventures.
Cibrowski joined CBS News in March 2025. In a career that spans more than 30 years, Cibrowski 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."
Before joining CBS News, he spent 30 years at ABC News in multiple leadership roles.
Cibrowski 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 No. 1 morning show position from "Today" after 16 years, then described as a "once in a generation change."
In those leadership positions, Cibrowski oversaw coverage of the 2016 presidential election and election night and worldwide breaking news events, including the Royal weddings, the devastating earthquake in Haiti, and the disappearance of Malaysian Airlines Flight 17. He produced the historic interview with Robin Roberts and Barack Obama on gay marriage and President Donald Trump's first interview as the 2016 Republican presidential nominee.
Earlier in his career, Cibrowski spent a decade covering war zones in Iraq and Kosovo and was on the scene for the downfall of dictators in Haiti and Indonesia. He had multiple tours in Baghdad before and during the Iraq war. He was with Diane Sawyer in Iraq immediately before the U.S.-Iraq war started in 2003 and returned with Robin Roberts to Fallujah six months after combat began. He also traveled to Bahrain and Kuwait with Charlie Gibson to produce a series about the generals leading the war effort.
Cibrowski spent seven years as president and general manager of KGO-TV, the Disney-owned television station in San Francisco. During his tenure there, Cibrowski maintained the station's No. 1 position with viewers and led the team in modernizing and transforming the legacy linear brand to maximize relevancy and connection with multi-platform audiences.
Cibrowski is no stranger to CBS News. He was the broadcast producer for the "The Early Show" with Bryant Gumbel when the program transitioned to a dynamic street-side studio. He was also responsible for the morning program's coverage during the attacks on 9/11.
He has received multiple Emmy and Edward R. Murrow awards for overall excellence for his work. He was also the Daytime Emmy Award winner for four years at "Good Morning America" and won the George Foster Peabody Award for "Robin's Journey," the story of the top morning anchor's recovery from a bone marrow transplant.

Russia pummels Kharkiv with drones and bombs, Ukraine says
On Saturday afternoon, Russia dropped two more glide bombs on the city, killing at least one more resident and injuring at least 16 others, Terekhov said. Advertisement Photographs released by Ukraine's emergency services showed the upper floors of a residential block ablaze after the overnight strike, with white smoke pouring into the early morning sky. In other images, rescuers sifted through the charred wreckage of a gutted apartment. Parts of the photos were blurred, likely to hide the remains of two people killed in that strike, according to the rescuers. A third person died elsewhere in Kharkiv, and about 20 others were injured in the assault. Advertisement The local prosecutor's office said Saturday afternoon that six people were most likely still trapped under the rubble of an industrial facility in Kharkiv that was struck during the overnight attack. The attacks Saturday came as Russian forces about 100 miles north of Kharkiv pushed deeper into Ukraine's northeastern Sumy region, seizing two more villages and advancing their effort to carve out a buffer zone along the Russia-Ukraine border. Even in Kharkiv, a city of 1.3 million that over the years has learned to live with near-daily Russian bombardments, Saturday's attacks were a clear sign of Russia's strategy to intensify air assaults in a bid to overwhelm and break through Ukraine's air defenses. They came just a day after Russia launched one of its biggest air assaults of the war across Ukraine, involving more than 400 drones and more than 40 missiles, in what Russia described as retaliation for Ukraine's audacious attacks on its strategic bomber bases last weekend. President Donald Trump this past week compared the dual air assaults between Russia and Ukraine to 'two young children fighting like crazy.' 'They hate each other, and they're fighting in a park, and you try and pull them apart,' Trump said Thursday in an Oval Office news conference. 'They don't want to be pulled. Sometimes you're better off letting them fight for a while and then pulling them apart.' In an interview with ABC News released Friday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy responded to the comment. 'We are not kids with Putin at the playground in the park,' he said, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin. 'He is a murderer who came to this park to kill the kids.' In April, a Russian missile struck a playground in Zelenskyy's hometown, Kryvyi Rih, killing 19 civilians, including nine children. It was the deadliest strike against children since the beginning of the war, according to the United Nations. Advertisement Russia's intensified attacks have come alongside a new offensive in the east and in the northeastern Sumy region. The push into Sumy follows Russian forces driving Ukrainian troops back from parts of Russia's Kursk region, just across the border from Sumy. To prevent future incursions into Kursk, Putin announced last month that Russian forces would launch an offensive in Sumy to create a buffer zone along the border. In the past three weeks, Russian troops have seized about 10 villages in the area, gaining control of roughly 75 square miles of territory. 'It's clear this is already an offensive on Sumy region -- a full-scale offensive,' said Andrii, a 44-year-old company intelligence commander fighting there who declined to be identified with his full name for security reasons and due to military protocol. He said he saw the offensive not only as an effort to establish the buffer zone that Putin called for, but also as a strategy to pin down Ukrainian forces and prevent their redeployment to other front-line hot spots in the east. Andrii said Russian troops were currently pushing toward the village of Khotin, 6 miles from the border. If they seize it, he warned, the situation could turn critical. Khotin sits on high ground and lies less than 12 miles from the city of Sumy, the regional administrative center, close enough for Russian forces to strike it with drones and artillery. Sumy is home to about 250,000 people. More than 200 villages and settlements have been evacuated from the Sumy region over the past year because of the fighting.

Trump admin live updates: Trump says Musk will 'pay the consequences' if he funds Democrats
A bitter public feud between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk erupted on Thursday, with the Tesla billionaire agreeing to calls for Trump's impeachment while Trump suggested ending Musk's government contracts. Musk showed some signs of softening his tone, but Trump on Friday told ABC News Musk was a "man who has lost his mind" and that he was "not particularly" interested in talking to him right now. The spat began in part because of Musk's criticism of Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," a sweeping immigration and tax bill that would fund much of the president's domestic agenda.
