Semafor is reporting that CBS News will expand its investigative unit:

Quote:
On Monday, the company plans to announce the growth of CBS News’ Investigative Unit, Semafor has learned, an attempt to grow the network’s original reporting and get more attention by publishing and broadcasting high-impact stories. The investigative unit, which Weiss and president Tom Cibrowski want to further expand in the coming months, will look into areas the company hopes to focus on, including health, politics, sports, and waste and fraud in government.

It will be interesting to see how they differentiate that from what "60 Minutes" has done. The last time CBS News got widespread attention over an investigative story, it was the "60 Minutes" CECOT story. That attention came about because Bari Weiss held up the story in a move that some interpreted as an attempt to quash it. Whether or not that was the kind of attention she was looking for is hard to discern.

It'll have to have Trump's name on it, though

Obviously, even if her boss likes what Mrs. Weiss is doing now, she's finally beginning to recognize that both her workforce and her audience don't and that that could ultimately spell big trouble for her down the road.
Weiss is going to blow up another CBS institution...60 Minutes. No wonder Anderson Cooper left.

Yes, and it was all done on the orders of King David. (Or was it King Donald--I can never be sure.)
Exclusive | Bari Weiss preps major shakeup of ‘60 Minutes’ that could reshuffle top talent, producers: sources
“Bari wants to make the show harder,” one source told The Post. “No one is talking about ‘60 Minutes’ on Monday morning.”

Here is more on how Bari Weiss is going to shakeup 60 Minutes.
“No one is talking about ‘60 Minutes’ on Monday morning.”
So apparently she's in the "any publicity is good publicity" camp.
While there is a deeper, darker agenda that Ellison and Weiss have to remake CBS News into a less-threatening-to-the-powerful entity (and that very much includes 60 Minutes), you're absolutely correct.
Bari is 42 and comes from digital. The average age of the 60 Minutes viewer is 65. She not only is not talking to those people, she doesn't want to hear their opinions.
Isolated from the agenda, she's right---you want 45-year-olds talking on Sunday night and Monday morning on social media about what your show did to drive FOMO (fear of missing out) viewership the following week.
But, kind of like the old KGO radio in San Francisco, the aging 60 Minutes audience needed to be constantly and consistently addressed and massaged over decades---30 years ago, the average age of a 60 Minutes viewer was 55. It's crept up a full decade over time.
Even for someone with a deep respect for the history, traditions and responsibility of 60 Minutes in particular and CBS News in general, this would be a tall, maybe impossible order. But Bari (and Ellison) have none of those values. To them, 60 Minutes is the East Wing. Something to tear down and build something shiny, new and distracting in its place.
No, it'll on only be on cities that have opposed Trump that have large populations of people of color
Here's what former 60 Minutes reporter Steve Kroft says about his former show:

Former 60 Minutes Correspondent Steve Kroft: No Show Should Be Praised More by Conservatives
"We reported on fraud and the waste in Washington, and all of that stuff when not everybody was doing that. And that's a conservative issue. Not a liberal issue."
