CBS “60 Minutes” announces a new slate of correspondents for its upcoming season, with changes made ahead of the program’s 59th season. CBS “60 Minutes” executive producer Nick Bilton makes the announcement, naming Norah O’Donnell as one of the new correspondents. O’Donnell is described as a former anchor of CBS Evening News.
Other additions reported include Ross Douthat, a conservative opinion columnist for The New York Times, who is listed as joining the program’s correspondents and contributors. The outlets also note that the announcements come after a recent shakeup at CBS “60 Minutes,” and that the new hires are intended for the upcoming fall lineup. Across the reports, the focus remains on the updated roster of correspondents and contributors for “60 Minutes,” rather than on specific planned episodes or assignments.
