			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As <a href="http://mediamemo.allthingsd.com/20081209/cbs-interactive-exec-patrick-keane-out-replaced-by-cnet-counterpart/">I noted earlier this week</a>, CBS had yet to announce any cuts or restructuring after acquiring CNET this summer for $1.8 billion. That changes today, CBS (CBS) confirms in a statement:</p>
<blockquote><p>CBS Interactive continues its integration process, which now calls for the further combination of several portions of the division into unified groups oriented around similar content. This important move allows us to better align our premium content for our audiences and our advertisers, and also results in reduction in certain areas that are now duplicated in the new organization structure. We believe these moves are necessary to continue building CBS Interactive into the most creative, most efficient, most profitable and fastest growing Internet company in the media business.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>News of the re-org was first reported by <a href="http://www.paidcontent.org/entry/419-cbs-interactive-to-merge-cbsnewscom-and-cnet/">paidContent</a> this morning. No details yet on how the restructuring will play out, though a person familiar with the situation did confirm that the company will push CNET&#8217;s News.com news site and CBS&#8217;s own CBSNews.com units closer together. Both groups have already been reporting to former CNET exec Joe Gillespie since the merger went through this summer. More details as I get them.</p>
<p>UPDATE: <a href="http://mediamemo.allthingsd.com/20081211/cbs-interactivecnet-re-org-the-complete-memo/">Here&#8217;s the complete re-org memo</a>.</p>
<p>A note to CBS employees: Since this is one story you folks are going to have a hard time covering, feel free to pass along your tips to me. You can reach me directly at <a href="mailto:peter@allthingsd.com">peter@allthingsd.com</a>. If you want to be completely anonymous, which is understandable but less useful to me (I won’t have any way of reaching you for follow-up) you can use the blind tip box <a href="http://allthingsd.com/tips/">here</a>.</p>
