#CBSNews declined to renew its contract with the “#60Minutes” correspondent #SharynAlfonsi, 6 months after her segment on #torture in Salvadoran prisons was pulled off the air abruptly by the “news” division’s editor in chief, #BariWeiss.

Alfonsi’s deal expired Saturday. She said in a phone interview that her agent’s inquiries with #CBS News over the past several weeks had been met with silence.

@Nonilex I didn't know of #SharynAlfonsi, but now I'll remember her name and be inclined to read what she publishes because I want real reporting, which includes finding facts that are politically unpopular.
