Raice, currently deputy bureau chief for the Middle East and North Africa at The Wall Street Journal, will be based in London, replacing outgoing London bureau chief Claire Day, who leaves May 1.
The new foreign editor role centralizes oversight of all international coverage at CBS News, reflecting a strategic shift under President Tom Cibrowski and editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, who has prioritized Middle East affairs.
Day's departure follows internal tensions over Middle East reporting and comes amid broader restructuring and layoffs at CBS News under Paramount-Skydance ownership, with Raice expected to bring regional expertise to the role.
