| Media | The Guardian | BARI WEISS’S OVERHAUL OF CBS NEWS HAS BEEN ROCKY. BUT HER 60 MINUTES REVAMP WILL BE THE ULTIMATE TEST | 3 hrs ago |
Bari Weiss, who took the helm as editor‑in‑chief of CBS News ten months ago, is set to unveil a major overhaul of the network’s flagship program, 60 Minutes. The revamped season will premiere next month after Weiss restructured the show’s correspondent corps and production staff during the spring.
According to Media | The Guardian, the revamp comes at a time when 60 Minutes continues to draw an average of nine million viewers per night, a figure that underscores the program’s enduring appeal amid a broader trend of linear TV audiences aging out or moving to digital platforms. Weiss’s changes aim to modernize the show’s reporting talent and production workflow in preparation for the upcoming premiere.
The move reflects CBS News’ broader strategy to keep flagship news programs competitive as viewership habits shift, with 60 Minutes remaining a key benchmark for televised journalism.
