Nick Bilton was appointed executive producer of 60 Minutes and sent an initial message to staff following major CBS News shakeups under editor-in-chief Bari Weiss. Tanya Simon, the former executive producer of 60 Minutes, confirmed she was no longer in her role after reports indicated Weiss had dismissed her and others. Weiss had taken over as editor-in-chief in October. Bilton described the role as the honor of his career and said he would lead the show rather than keep it unchanged. He emphasized honoring what works, being honest about what does not, and sharing ideas about the show, future correspondents, and the challenge of producing one extraordinary hour weekly in a constant-content world.
"“It has been an immense privilege to lead this broadcast, and I could not be prouder of what we have built.”"
"“It’s the honor of my career to become the executive producer of 60 Minutes. I just shared the note below with the incredible staff and can’t wait to get started.”"
"“I’m here to lead this show, not preserve it under glass. That means honoring what works and being honest about what doesn’t. I have a notebook full of ideas. Some are about the show itself. Some are about the next generation of correspondents. Some are about the strange fact that we produce one extraordinary hour for one night a week in a world that consumes content around the clock.”"
"“Nick is one of the most entrepreneurial journalists of our time and the perfect leader for one of the most entrepreneurial news brands of all time.”"
