📺 60 Minutes Overhaul Norah ODonnell Promoted as 4 New Correspondents Join Amid Turmoil [iZvHM4tLU40]
CBS News is reshaping 60 Minutes under editor-in-chief Bari Weiss and new executive producer Nick Bilton. Norah O'Donnell, 52, has been promoted to correspondent after previously contributing to the show . Joining her are four new hires: New York Times conservative columnist Ross Douthat, documentarian Sebastian Junger (The Perfect Storm), former Vice News journalist Gianna Toboni, and British broadcaster Trevor Phillips . The moves come after weeks of turmoil that saw the firing of longtime correspondent Scott Pelley, who reportedly accused Weiss of "murdering" the program . Correspondents Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega, along with executive producer Tanya Simon, were also ousted . Despite the upheaval, veterans Lesley Stahl, Bill Whitaker and Jon Wertheim chose to stay, writing they "don't want to see 60 Minutes die" . 🎙️⚡ #60Minutes #CBSNews #NorahODonnell #BariWeiss #ScottPelley #RossDouthat #Journalism #MediaShakeup #BroadcastNews #TVNews
