60 Minutes to Reinvent Itself With Gonzo-Style, Multi-Platform Push

60 Minutes is undergoing a major overhaul led by Bari Weiss and new exec producer Nick Bilton, who aim to extend the show's storytelling beyond TV by adding beat-based correspondents and a gonzo journalism approach, delivering content first on platforms like TikTok, YouTube, and Reels before airing on CBS and streaming. The reshuffle follows exits of Tanya Simon and several longtime correspondents (including Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega) and comes amid concerns about editorial independence as CBS/Paramount realigns its business. Bilton plans to meet staff soon to outline his full vision and says the show can reinvent itself for younger audiences while keeping investigative journalism at its core.
