It’s the end of an era for 60 Minutes: When Steve Kroft wraps up his 30th season with the newsmagazine, he is retiring, CBS has revealed.
60 Minutes will then pay tribute to the veteran journalist’s storied, half-a-century career with a special to air that will air in September.
“Steve, with his sharp eye for detail, rich writing and demanding journalism, has set the bar at 60 Minutes for three decades.”
“Steve Kroft’s reporting for 60 Minutes has been as important as any correspondent’s in the history of this broadcast,” says executive producer Bill Owens.
