“Laurie’s work covering technology, and our connections to it, caught my eye years ago,’ says Bill Owens, executive producer of the new show. “Her sources and understanding of this field are second to none. Laurie loves to break news and we look forward to her covering all kinds of stories, all over the world.”

Previously, Segall was with CNN. After that, she left the network to start her own venture. She is also the host pf the recently launched podcast, “First Contact,” produced by her media company Dot Dot Dot.

“We’re in a really fascinating moment in tech and I think it’s important that we ask questions that don’t have easy answers. I couldn’t be more excited to explore some of these stories with the ’60 Minutes’ team,” added Segall, 34. “As someone who has covered technology for most of my career, I’m excited to be combining world-class journalism with an emerging platform like Quibi.”
