The new additions include opinion columnist Ross Douthat, former anchor Norah O’Donnell, author Sebastian Junger, Trevor Phillips, and Gianna Toboni. These journalists will join existing correspondents as the program undergoes changes under its new executive producer, Nick Bilton, and editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss. AI
