Bari Weiss Has a New Vision for 60 Minutes

Nancy Weiss has a history of interfering with 60 Minutes, most recently with an episode about a Salvadoran prison. However, her latest changes are proving more complicated. She brought in Bill Bilton to lead the show, which meant removing the two most experienced executive producers, Tanya Simon and Draggan Mihailovich. Correspondents Cecilia Vega and Sharyn Alfonsi have also left the program. Alfonsi, who originally reported the story about the prison, recently voiced her concerns about Weiss’s management after her contract wasn’t renewed.
