60 Minutes braces for reboot after Pelley's exit and CBS shake-up

CBS News is scrambling to steady 60 Minutes after Scott Pelley's firing and a wave of departures, with Nick Bilton installed as executive producer and Bari Weiss playing a prominent role. The network is holding back-to-back meetings with correspondents and producers as it tries to reassure staffers that there’s no political interference, while aiming for a September 13 Season 59 premiere. Veteran reporters question whether the reboot can deliver the show’s three mini‑documentaries per week, even as CBS News executives push a plan to bring the program into a more integrated 21st‑century newsroom and to pursue investigations including stories on President Trump.
