Ellison and his top executives hosted a meet-and-greet with journalists on the storied Melrose Lot Wednesday to further discuss their plans for Paramount Pictures and CBS.

One week on the job, tech scion David Ellison is settling in at the Paramount lot after his family took over the century-old studio.

Ellison spoke with CBS journalists on his first day, acknowledging the stresses of the past year and touting the importance of “fact-based journalism,” a person in attendance said.
