The network has been trimming costs as its parent, Paramount Global, is in sales talks.

CBS News is shuttering its Tokyo bureau, impacting three employees, following earlier cost-cutting in the division. The spokesperson added, “Liz Palmer, who took an assignment in Asia for the past few years, is one of the most highly respected international journalists in the industry and will continue to contribute to CBS News’ far-reaching global news coverage.” The New York Post first reported on the bureau closure. In February, CBS News laid off about 20 employees as part of companywide cuts at Paramount Global.
