Anderson Cooper to Leave CBS News's '60 Minutes' -- WSJ

By Isabella Simonetti

Anderson Cooper will be leaving CBS News's "60 Minutes" after the current season, a high-profile departure for the storied TV newsmagazine.

"Being a correspondent at 60 Minutes has been one of the great honors of my career," he said Monday. "For nearly twenty years, I've been able to balance my jobs at CNN and CBS, but I have little kids now and I want to spend as much time with them as possible, while they still want to spend time with me."

Cooper will maintain his CNN roles including anchor of "Anderson Cooper 360," host of "The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper" and host of the podcast "All There Is with Anderson Cooper."

"60 Minutes" has faced tumult in recent months under new CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss. In December, she delayed running a segment on a prison in El Salvador where the Trump administration sent hundreds of Venezuelan migrants, including alleged gang members. That decision sparked pushback inside CBS News, a controversy that spilled into public view. The segment aired in January, with some additions.

During his time with "60 Minutes," Cooper has reported on topics including Covid patients with long-term symptoms, the drug war in Mexico and inmates in an African prison who created Grammy-winning music.

News of Cooper's departure was earlier reported by Breaker.
