CNET Withdraws From CES 2022 as In-Person Participant

CNET is participating in CES 2022, “just not in person,” emailed a spokesperson Monday evening. “We are a media partner and will continue to cover the show remotely,” she said. With COVID-19 and its omicron variant numbers on the rise, and “keeping employee and community safety top of mind,” CNET's parent company, Red Ventures, decided to “pause travel for all U.S.-based employees through mid-January,” she said. “CNET will now shift our CES focus to remote coverage.”
