Courtesy of CBS Entertainment “60 Minutes” is on the clock — in more ways than its new leader might realize.
When Bari Weiss, CBS News’ editor in chief, named Nick Bilton last week to lead the venerable newsmagazine into its 59th season, she did so at a critical moment. Bilton, a technology reporter who made a move into screenwriting and documentary filmmaking and production, must learn the ins and outs of the program on the fly, without any sustained experience in managing a large team of journalists or a broadcast-TV property, even as the show is under pressure to deliver enough of its in-depth reporting for segments that will start to air in September.
