Courtesy of CBS News Ariel Levy, a staff writer at The New Yorker magazine who has analyzed sexuality in culture and profiled a number of political and cultural newsmakers, will join “60 Minutes” as a contributor, the latest journalist to join the show’s ranks as it is being remade by Bari Weiss, the editor in chief of CBS News.
