CBS News announced new hires for '60 Minutes' under Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss on Tuesday. Ross Douthat, a columnist for The New York Times, will join as a correspondent, alongside contributors Sebastian Junger, Gianna Toboni, and Trevor Phillips. Norah O'Donnell, a former anchor for CBS Evening News, has been promoted to full correspondent. Executive producer Nick Bilton highlighted the new lineup's commitment to independent reporting. These changes come as part of a restructuring of '60 Minutes' following the departure of several longtime correspondents earlier this year. Douthat has been with The New York Times since 2009 and is known for his conservative viewpoints. The new contributors bring diverse journalistic backgrounds, with Toboni focusing on investigative reporting and Phillips contributing from London. Weiss aims to restore trust in the network and broaden the program's appeal while maintaining journalistic standards. The 59th season of '60 Minutes' is set to premiere on September 13.
