Overview

  • Cooper announced he will step down as a 60 Minutes correspondent after nearly two decades in the role.
  • He will continue at CNN, including his nightly Anderson Cooper 360 and other network projects.
  • He is expected to appear on 60 Minutes through the current season, which is slated to conclude in May.
  • CBS News praised his contributions and said the broadcast would welcome him back, while his spokesman offered no additional comment.
