NY Times Columnist Ross Douthat Becomes Correspondent on CBS’s ‘60 Minutes’

Ross Douthat, a longtime opinion columnist for The New York Times, will join television. He is set to serve as a correspondent on CBS News’ flagship program “60 Minutes”. The appointment adds a print‑journalist perspective to the show’s reporting team. Douthat will work alongside other journalists already contributing to the program. His role is expected to involve in‑depth investigative segments. The move reflects a broader trend of cross‑media collaborations. Viewers may see Douthat’s analytical style applied to televised news stories. The addition is slated to begin later this year, according to network announcements.
