60 Minutes is known for being a landmark U.S. television news program, the longest continually running prime-time series, and a standard for investigative journalism. The program first aired in September 1968 and has won 26 Peabody Awards and more Emmy Awards for news and documentary programming than any other prime-time show. In the late 2010s a CBS correspondent and executive producer were fired in the wake of the Me Too movement, although allegations of sexual misconduct in the workplace predate that. In the mid-2020s CBS News president Bari Weiss made changes to the program that led correspondents and producers to question its future.
