The Reluctant Reboot of America's Most Trusted News Program The opening episode of CBS News' revamped 59th season of "60 Minutes" has raised questions about whether the show is genuinely committed to change or simply paying lip service.
The debut, which aired on Sunday, relied heavily on familiar faces and tried and true story formats. One notable aspect of the revamped season is the lack of emphasis on fresh talent and new perspectives.
Correspondents touted as part of the reboot in May, such as Ross Douthat, Sebastian Junger, Gianna Toboni, Trevor Phillips, and Ariel Levy, were noticeably absent.
