She is an innovative leader, an exceptional producer and someone who knows how to inspire people,&#8221; Cibrowski said. &#8220;Tanya knows that the success of today&#8217;s 60 MINUTES depends on delivering a weekly mix of the most informative, impactful and entertaining stories and investigative journalism from around the world. This is the true essence and foundation of 60 MINUTES.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is a privilege to lead 60 MINUTES and its formidable team of journalists,&#8221; Simon said. &#8220;60 is in a class of its own, upholding a legacy of extraordinary and thought-provoking journalism for more than half a century. I&#8217;m deeply committed to this level of excellence, and I look forward to delivering an exciting season of signature 60 stories that cover a wide range of subjects for a broad audience and engage viewers with their world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Simon was named interim executive producer in April 2025, steering the program through the end of its 57th season. Previously, she was the executive editor of 60 MINUTES, where, for six seasons, she helped oversee the program&#8217;s editorial process. Prior to that, she was a senior producer whose responsibilities included overseeing digital content for 60MinutesOvertime.com and supervising production of &#8220;60 Minutes Sports,&#8221; a monthly sports-focused edition of 60 MINUTES that ran on Showtime.<\/p>\n<p>Simon has been contributing to 60 MINUTES for most of her career, playing key roles in some of the broadcast&#8217;s highest-profile investigations, features, and profiles. She joined the staff in 2000, working with correspondent Ed Bradley on a variety of reports, including the 9\/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the Duke University lacrosse rape case, and a rare interview with Bob Dylan. Simon went on to produce for nearly all the 60 MINUTES correspondents over the next decade, including Steve Kroft, Lesley Stahl, Scott Pelley, Anderson Cooper, and Bob Simon, her father. During that time, she produced news-making interviews with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and hero pilot Chesley &#8220;Sully&#8221; Sullenberger, as well as profiles of rapper Eminem and Olympic snowboarding gold medalist Shaun White. She reported extensively on Boston Irish mob boss James &#8220;Whitey&#8221; Bulger, including his capture after 16 years on the run, and on Lance Armstrong&#8217;s use of performance-enhancing drugs to win bicycle races.<\/p><div id=\"morty-3007568876\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>Simon began her career at CBS News in 1996 as a researcher for 48 HOURS, where she subsequently rose to become an associate producer and producer, before moving to 60 MINUTES.<\/p>\n<p>Her work has earned virtually every major broadcast honor, including multiple Emmy Awards\u00ae, the Peabody, and the DuPont-Columbia Award.<\/p>\n<p>Simon holds a B.A. degree in comparative literature from Columbia University and lives in New York City with her husband and two sons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tanya Simon, an award-winning journalist and producer, has been named executive producer of 60 MINUTES, America&#8217;s #1 news program, it was announced today by Tom Cibrowski, president and executive editor of CBS News.
