Ariel Levy Joins '60 Minutes' as Contributor Amidst Show's Remake

Ariel Levy, a distinguished staff writer for The New Yorker, has been appointed as a contributor to the long-running CBS News program '60 Minutes'. This addition comes as the program undergoes a significant restructuring under the leadership of Bari Weiss, the editor in chief of CBS News. Levy is recognized for her incisive reporting on cultural and political figures, as well as her in-depth explorations of sexuality.

Levy's move to '60 Minutes' marks the latest in a series of staffing changes for the broadcast. Executive Producer Nick Bilton lauded Levy as an "astonishingly original writer and reporter," highlighting her fearlessness in tackling sensitive subjects and her ability to drive consequential debates. Her contributions are expected to further enhance the program's reputation for in-depth investigative journalism and compelling storytelling.
