NEW YORK (AP) — Saying it was time for a new approach and a new chapter, CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss has replaced the executive producer of "60 Minutes," naming outsider Nick Bilton, a longtime technology journalist and documentarian, as the show's new leader.
Executive producer Tanya Simon will be leaving about a year after being named to the job following 30 years at the venerable Sunday evening program.
In a memo to staff Thursday, Weiss and CBS News President Tom Cibrowski said their goal was "building a show that thrives in the 21st century."
