Ariel Levy, a staff writer at The New Yorker magazine who has analyzed sexuality in culture and profiled a number of political and cultural newsmakers, will join “60 Minutes” as a contributor, the latest journalist to join the show’s ranks as it is being remade by Bari Weiss, the editor in chief of CBS News.

“Ariel is an astonishingly original writer and reporter, fearlessly going to far-flung places and exploring sensitive topics that have driven consequential debates,” said Nick Bilton, recently installed as executive producer of the CBS News mainstay, in a memo to staffers Monday. “For nearly three decades, first at New York magazine and then at The New Yorker, she has reported on culture, gender, sexuality, health and the people and ideas shaping modern life in a way that is entirely unique.”
