’60 Minutes’ Set for Massive Shakeup Before Next Season: How CBS Show Will Change

CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss plans to overhaul 60 Minutes after the current season ends, intending to "blow it up" and refocus the program on investigative reporting.
Once a leader in investigative journalism, 60 Minutes has faced scrutiny for "soft programming" and a "doctored" interview with Vice President Kamala Harris before the 2024 election, prompting Paramount to settle a $16 million lawsuit with Trump.
CBS News cut 6 percent of its workforce last month, laying off 70 employees including shutdown of its 99-year-old radio division; sources now indicate another round of cuts in June with 60 Minutes staff on the list.
Potential casualties include correspondent Scott Pelley, a Trump administration critic, and executive producer Tanya Simon, as Weiss prioritizes "scoops and hard-hitting investigative reporting" following Anderson Cooper's departure.
Weiss is expected to recruit younger correspondents aligned with her editorial vision, though staffers remain uncertain; one told outlets "no one knows what to expect" as the revamp approaches.
