60 Minutes

60 Minutes is the name of several television newsmagazines, the first of which has been produced by CBS News since 1968. That show, created and made successful by producer Don Hewitt, has inspired similar shows on Australian television and New Zealand television. The shows begin and end with the image and sound of a ticking stopwatch, an image that in the 1970s became symbolic of investigative journalism on U.S. television.
