Following a major leadership change, "60 Minutes" has introduced a new ensemble of correspondents and contributors for its upcoming 59th season. The appointments were announced by the program's new executive producer, Nick Bilton, via a staff memo shared on X. These additions arrive approximately two months after the network's new editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss, initiated a significant shakeup at the storied news program.
The new journalists joining "60 Minutes" include conservative opinion columnist Ross Douthat of The New York Times, former "CBS Evening News" anchor Norah O'Donnell, author Sebastian Junger, Trevor Phillips, and Gianna Toboni. These individuals will serve as contributors to the show, working alongside current correspondents Lesley Stahl, Jon Wertheim, and Bill Whitaker. The shakeup also saw the departure of several long-serving staff members and correspondents.
