Bari Weiss’ overhaul of CBS News has been rocky. But her 60 Minutes revamp will be the ultimate test

Ten months into her tenure as editor in chief, Weiss' biggest - and riskiest - bet is getting closer to taking flight

Bari Weiss is 10 months into her tenure as editor-in-chief of CBS News, but her biggest test is right around the corner.

The newest season of 60 Minutes is set to premiere next month after Weiss overhauled the show's correspondent corps and production staff in the spring. Long considered the gold standard in television news, the show still generates a staggering nine million average viewers per night at a time when linear television's core audience is either aging out or turning to digital alternatives.
