Bari Weiss Shakes Up 60 Minutes

The storied newsmagazine '60 Minutes' is undergoing a radical transformation under the leadership of CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss.

Incoming executive producer Nick Bilton has signaled plans to introduce 'gonzo journalism' and beat-focused reporting to the program.

The shake-up has already resulted in the high-profile firing of senior correspondent Cecilia Vega, who expressed fear for the future of the show.

Long-time program veterans have criticized the move, alleging that the new direction is a response to political pressure and represents an abandonment of traditional journalistic standards.
