The clock has stopped ticking for “60 Minutes Plus,” the streaming spinoff of the venerable CBS News mainstay that was once envisioned as a means of introducing the next generation of viewers to the popular Sunday newsmagazine that has been broadcasting for more than half a century.
Staffers were informed of the decision Thursday morning, according to people familiar with the matter. The company expects to work with employees to find other jobs within ViacomCBS and executives remain committed to making news programming a central part of Paramount Plus, which has been the most recent home of the new show.

A streaming spinoff of CBS News’ “60 Minutes” will debut next week on Paramount+, the network announced on Wednesday.
“60 Minutes+” episodes will be led by correspondents Enrique Acevedo, Seth Doane, Wesley Lowery and Laurie Segall — the same four-person team that created dozens of episodes for the “60 in 6” series on the now-shuttered Quibi platform. Jonathan Blakely, who also worked on the Quibi series, will executive produce.
Shows on “60 Minutes+” will be longer than the traditional TV version of “60 Minutes.” The first three episodes, which will be released next Thursday on Paramount+, will feature an interview with Jacob Chansley, the “QAnon shaman” who stormed the U.S. Capitol in January; a profile of the musician J Balvin; and a report on shrinking glaciers. After that, a new “60 Minutes+” episode will release once per week.

Could Captain America one day become President America?
Chris Evans was an amazing Steve Rogers and has long been one of the more politically active McU stars. Aside from commenting on all sorts of political positions, he’s also set up A Starting Point, a website which provides opinions from both sides of the aisle without judgment on who’s right. It’s a laudable goal, especially with the country as divided as it is right now.
Evans has said that his interest in politics arose from looking at a problem and figuring out how he could help a little. Since then, he’s explained that he feels a sense of responsibility to use his fame and influence to try and improve things for ordinary Americans. That drive led many to wonder if it’d be too long before he dipped his toe into the political arena as a candidate.

You won’t need an hour to watch “60 Minutes” this summer.
The venerable CBS Sunday newsmagazine will soon end its current TV season, but it is about to start a whole new cycle on Quibi, the short-form mobile-video service that could use the link to one of TV’s best-known programs to lure subscribers. In the last few minutes of Sunday’s broadcast on CBS, viewers will see scenes from the first “60 in 6,” the latest extension of the long-running program.
“It’s an opportunity for us to get our journalism in front of people who probably see ’60 Minutes’ when they are giving their mother and father a kiss and going out to see their friends,” says Bill Owens, the executive producer of the show, in an interview. “Let’s reach them where they are,” he adds, to build an interest in the show in all its forms.

Scott Pelley once found himself in the kind of terrible situation that would prompt most people to abandon him immediately. Not Bill Owens.
CBS News veteran Pelley had traveled to Iraq in 2003 with a production team in tow, including a familiar face: longtime producer Bill Owens. Pelley and Owens had covered the White House together in an earlier era. They had journeyed to Iraq and embedded with U.S. Marines under fire. Yet as an explosive detonated overhead, soldiers believed they were under chemical attack. Pelley noticed – too late – that he had left his gas mask behind in the team’s vehicle.
“I turned, and Bill, who had been maybe 50 yards away, immediately saw what the problem was, grabbed my gas mask and sprinted into the fire fight to get it to me,” Pelley recounts. “It turned out the shell that exploded over our heads was not a chemical weapon. But he didn’t know that.

In an era when coverage of President Donald Trump saturates the cable-news spectrum, viewers know they can turn to CNN to get the latest reactions from politicians and analysts. Increasingly, they’ve also been able to hear from some of the titans of Silicon Valley.
Laurie Segall has nabbed sit-downs with tech moguls like Apple’s Tim Cook and Salesforce.com’s Marc Benioff at a time when such stuff would be the province of CNBC or a few business-news outlets (Cook has on occasion granted interviews to ABC News’ David Muir). Now Segall’s tech-news acumen will get a TV spotlight when CNN runs a special documentary report, “Facebook at 15: It’s Complicated,” which is scheduled to air Sunday February 10 at 9 p.m. eastern. The program features never-before-seen interviews with top Facebook executives, including Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg.
Segall credits her ability to snare the interviews to a few simple facts.

Despite calls from Facebook investors for an independent board chairman to provide better oversight of the embattled company, Mark Zuckerberg has no plans to surrender that position.
The company co-founder and controlling shareholder told CNN directly: “That’s not the plan.”
Zuckerberg also offered support for the company’s chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg, who has long been viewed as the mature influence on the company’s boyish founder. He has credited her with spearheading many of Facebook’s most ambitious efforts.
“She has been an important partner for me for 10 years,” Zuckerberg said in the interview tonight. “And, you know, I am really proud of the work we have done together and hope we work together for decades more to come.”
Some in Silicon Valley had wondered whether Sandberg would become a corporate casualty following the New York Times investigation, which revealed the extent of her role in managing the Russian influence campaign,...
