CBS News chief Bari Weiss set to remake network's iconic 60 Minutes: report

CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss is planning major changes to the network’s iconic “60 Minutes” program, according to a new report.

Weiss has privately told people she wants to revamp “60 Minutes,” one of the highest-rated TV news programs, journalist Oliver Darcy reported Tuesday in his Status newsletter. The award-winning show, which first aired in 1968, is known for its in-depth, investigative reports.

Weiss had been looking to make changes mid-season but following discussions with CBS News president Tom Cibrowski and other leaders, she agreed to wait until the show’s current season ends in May, according to the report. The top editor is expected to “blow it up as soon as the season is over,” one source familiar with the issue told Darcy, while another staffer said that “no one knows what to expect.”

Details of Weiss’ vision remain unclear but she is expected to bring in new correspondents who are younger and more aligned with her editorially. She’s also playing an active role in decisions that typically fall to the program’s executive producer, such as staffing, Darcy reported.
