CBS News announces that “60 Minutes” will add new correspondents and contributors ahead of its 59th season. The network says Ross Douthat, a columnist for The New York Times, will join the program as a correspondent, alongside writers and filmmakers Sebastian Junger, Gianna Toboni, and Trevor Phillips, who are named as contributors. Multiple outlets report that the additions are part of an overhaul of the CBS newsmagazine led by executive producer Nick Bilton. The announcements position the changes as part of “60 Minutes” updating its team and presentation at a time when the long-running program has faced heightened scrutiny. While the reports focus on the new lineup, they do not provide detailed information about specific beats, episode roles, or start dates beyond the timing ahead of the upcoming season. Overall, the outlets agree on the names announced and the broader context of a restructuring under Bilton’s direction.
