调查记者兼电影制作人尼克·比尔顿已被任命为《60分钟》执行制片人，接替去年在哥伦比亚广播公司新闻台工作三十余年后升任该新闻杂志节目最高职位的坦尼娅·西蒙。
此次变动标志着这个美国收视率最高的新闻节目迎来重大转折点，该节目刚刚结束第58季播出。比尔顿仅为《60分钟》历史上第五位执行制片人。
在一份声明中，哥伦比亚广播公司新闻台总编辑巴里·魏斯称比尔顿是“我们这个时代最具创业精神的记者之一，也是有史以来最具创业精神的新闻品牌之一的完美领导者”。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻台总裁汤姆·西布罗斯基表示，聘用比尔顿“代表了为《60分钟》制定的深思熟虑的愿景：将节目从仅周日晚间播出的一小时内容，拓展为全方位的产品，触达任何通过渠道获取信息的观众”。

比尔顿曾是《纽约时报》专栏作家、《名利场》特约记者，同时也是畅销书作家。他曾担任多部Netflix重磅纪录片的执行制片人和制片人，包括《史上最大劫案》《未知：杀人机器人》以及《阿什利·麦迪逊：性、谎言与丑闻》。
“能够主导《60分钟》的新篇章是莫大的荣誉，该节目是美国历史上最重要的新闻机构之一，”比尔顿说道，“节目的使命始终至关重要：追求真相、监督权力、在任何外部压力或影响面前保持无畏。”
此次领导层变动正值《60分钟》经历动荡的两季之后。去年春季，执行制片人比尔·欧文斯离开公司，此前特朗普总统就《60分钟》对卡玛拉·哈里斯的采访对该电视台提起诉讼。数月后，派拉蒙与特朗普达成1600万美元的和解，此后不久联邦通信委员会批准了其与Skydance的合并案。
本季，一档关于递解出境至臭名昭著的萨尔瓦多CECOT监狱的预播节目引发的内部争端公开化：魏斯呼吁加强报道，而记者沙琳·阿尔方西反驳称存在政治干预。该节目数周后仅做小幅修改便播出。阿尔方西周三表示，她的合同已于上周末到期。
Nick Bilton named executive producer of “60 Minutes”

Investigative journalist and filmmaker Nick Bilton has been named executive producer of “60 Minutes,” replacing Tanya Simon, who was promoted into the newsmagazine’s top role last year after more than three decades at CBS News.
The change marks a major turning point for the nation’s top-rated news program, which just wrapped up its 58th season. Bilton is just the fifth executive producer in “60 Minutes” history.
In a statement, CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss called Bilton “one of the most entrepreneurial journalists of our time and the perfect leader for one of the most entrepreneurial news brands of all time.”
CBS News president Tom Cibrowski said that hiring Bilton “represents a deliberate vision for ’60 Minutes’ to go beyond an hour on Sunday evenings to become a 360-degree product that reaches audiences wherever they consume information.”

Bilton is a former New York Times columnist, special correspondent at Vanity Fair, and bestselling author. He has served as executive producer and producer on a slate of major Netflix documentaries, including “Biggest Heist Ever,” “Unknown: Killer Robots,” and “Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies & Scandal.”
“It is an extraordinary honor to lead the next chapter of ’60 Minutes,’ one of the most important journalism institutions in this nation’s history,” said Bilton. “The mission of the program remains as vital as ever: pursuing the truth, holding power to account and remaining fearless in the face of any external pressure or influence.”
The leadership change follows a tumultuous two seasons at “60 Minutes.” Last spring, executive producer Bill Owens left the company as President Trump pursued a lawsuit against the network over a “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris. Months later, Paramount settled with Mr. Trump for $16 million, and shortly thereafter the FCC approved its merger with Skydance.
This season, an internal dispute over a planned segment on deportation to the notorious El Salvador prison CECOT erupted into the public eye as Weiss called for more reporting and correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi pushed back with accusations of political interference. The segment aired several weeks later with minimal changes. Alfonsi said Wednesday that her contract lapsed over the weekend.
