Ex-New York Times journalist Nick Bilton to replace Tanya Simon as executive producer of the Sunday newsmagazine

Amid rising questions about 60 Minutes’ editorial integrity, CBS News on Thursday announced major changes for the Sunday newsmagazine show, appointing the former New York Times tech journalist Nick Bilton as executive producer for the 59th season, which begins in the fall.

Tanya Simon, the daughter of legendary 60 Minutes correspondent Bob Simon, has been ousted as the show’s top producer, a role she took on after the resignation of longtime executive producer Bill Owens in the spring of 2025.
