Weiss-Driven CBS News Overhaul Targets a Reimagined 60 Minutes
Bari Weiss’s plan to reinvent CBS News signals a major pivot for 60 Minutes, with longtime figures like Anderson Cooper departing, Sharyn Alfonsi’s contract up for renewal, and others potentially leaving. The show will relocate to the CBS Broadcast Center as part of broad newsroom consolidations, while Weiss envisions expanding 60 Minutes beyond TV into podcasts, newsletters and live events, potentially adding new correspondents to reflect her broader vision for CBS News.
