Murdering 60 Minutes examines the broader takeover of legacy media and what it means for journalism, democracy, and the public's access to independent information when trusted journalism is reshaped by the people who can control it. Using 60 Minutes as its central case study, the film explores how corporate consolidation can weaken the most respected news institutions and what the public can do to defend a free press. If 60 Minutes covered what happened to itself after Bari Weiss took over, this is what it would look like.
