What Can 60 Minutes Season 53 be About?

’60 Minutes’ comprises segments that combine a mix of hard-hitting “investigative reports, interviews, feature segments, and profiles of people in the news” — as outlined by CBS. The news magazine has won multiple Emmy Awards, as well as, 15 Peabody Awards. Each episode showcases three long-form news stories without using any superimposed graphics. The stories are introduced with the help of a background that is similar to the pages of a magazine. The show carries out its own investigations and research on news broadcasted by other sources. Moreover, the journalists never share screen presence with each other, resulting in more personal touch with the viewers.

Season 52 sticks to the same format and brings in several subjects, covering a wide range of topics. We have stories about The Impeachment Inquiry into President Donald Trump, Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman of Saudi Arabia, the sharks of New England, serial killer Samuel Little, rising tensions in Hong Kong, a Yazidi woman who won a Nobel Peace Prize, psychedelic drugs, and the anti-Semitic attack at a synagogue in Pittsburgh. There are discussions with Christine Lagarde about the global economy, Presidential candidate Joe Biden, Russian personality Maria Butina, and the CEO of J.P. Morgan Chase Jamie Dimon, among many others. Season 53 will bring in several other intriguing news segments that shed light on the current international scenario.
