FILE - "60 Minutes" correspondent Lesley Stahl poses for a photo in her office at the "60 Minutes" offices, in New York on Sept. 12, 2017. It's not the first time that's been said about “60 Minutes” since its 1968 debut. After executive producer Bill Owens turned the show primarily over to COVID-19 coverage last spring, “60 Minutes” has returned to its traditional format while being focused on being timely. “60 Minutes” this fall has featured interviews with fired government cybersecurity chief Chris Krebs, former President Barack Obama and poisoned Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny. Original executive producer Don Hewitt often ran “60 Minutes” as an island unto itself.

REUTERS/Lucy Nicholson - RC19085C4410(Reuters) - An associate producer on CBS current affairs TV show 60 Minutes filed a lawsuit on Tuesday alleging gender discrimination and retaliation by the U.S. company after she said she complained about inappropriate conduct by her male boss. Neither CBS, which is part of ViacomCBS (VIACA.O), nor Gavshon could immediately be reached for comment. According to the complaint, the CBS human resources department conducted an investigation after Vinograd raised the issue with them. CBS executives have been the subject of other sexual harassment allegations in recent years, with anchor Charlie Rose, CBS Corp President Leslie Moonves and 60 Minutes Executive Producer Jeff Fager being fired from the company or resigning under pressure. Following reports of the allegations against Moonves, CBS said: CBS is very mindful of all workplace issues and takes each report of misconduct very seriously.
