The 60 Minutes team recently gathered for a group portrait at the historic Oyster Bar in Grand Central Station, photographed by renowned photographer Mark Seliger. This location holds significant meaning for CBS News, as it was the original home of CBS Television Studios and the site of many iconic broadcasts by legends like Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite. The photograph features correspondents Lesley Stahl, Bill Whitaker, Norah O’Donnell, Jon Wertheim, and Ross Douthat, along with contributors Gianna Toboni, Sebastian Junger, Ariel Levy, Sir Trevor Phillips, and Matt Gutman. Executive producer Nick Bilton emphasized the importance of capturing the essence of the team and the history of 60 Minutes as they approach their 59th season. The new season, premiering on September 13, will include an exclusive interview with a U.S. Air Force officer involved in a significant military rescue operation.
