在与知名新闻杂志《60分钟》合作20年后，安德森·库珀将在本季结束时离开哥伦比亚广播公司（CBS）新闻。该节目表示，他在5月本季结束前仍将报道多部正在制作中的《60分钟》专题。
库珀同时也是美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）的黄金时段主播，他在一份声明中表示，决定离开CBS的职位是为了花更多时间陪伴孩子。
“作为《60分钟》的记者是我职业生涯中的亮点之一。我得以讲述精彩的故事，与业内一些最优秀的制片人、编辑和摄像团队合作，”库珀说，“近二十年来，我一直能够平衡CNN和CBS的工作，但我现在有年幼的孩子，我想尽可能多地陪伴他们，而他们也希望我多陪他们。”
CBS新闻对他在这档长期播出的节目中的工作表示感谢。

“二十多年来，安德森·库珀带领《60分钟》的观众踏上了前往遥远地方的旅程，讲述了我们难忘的故事，进行了重大调查，并采访了许多知名人物，”CBS新闻在一份声明中表示，“我们感谢他为这档广播节目倾注了大量心血，也理解花更多时间陪伴家人的重要性。‘60分钟’随时欢迎他回来。”
库珀出现在周日播出的《60分钟》节目中，介绍了纪录片导演肯·伯恩斯关于美国建国250周年前，他认为美国开国元勋会对美国感到惊讶的短片评论。
库珀于2006-2007电视季通过CBS新闻与CNN的协议开始担任《60分钟》记者。他此前曾为该广播的前身《60分钟II》撰稿。
他的离职正值《60分钟》经历动荡时期。该节目于1968年首播。去年春天，该节目历史上第三位执行制片人比尔·欧文斯离开CBS，称“很明显，我不会被允许像以前那样运营这个节目”。
欧文斯离职之际，《60分钟》正卷入一起诉讼。2024年总统竞选期间，特朗普总统起诉了CBS新闻母公司派拉蒙，起因是该广播对民主党候选人副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯的采访。
派拉蒙最终在去年夏天与特朗普达成1600万美元的和解协议。和解协议中没有包含道歉内容。当时派拉蒙董事会主席夏丽·雷石东因联邦通信委员会（FCC）正在审查派拉蒙与大卫·埃里森的天空舞蹈媒体的合并而回避了和解谈判。
和解协议达成几周后，联邦通信委员会批准了合并案继续推进。

Anderson Cooper is leaving CBS News’ “60 Minutes” at the end of this season after 20 years with the celebrated newsmagazine. He’ll still report multiple stories in production for “60 Minutes” before the season ends in May, according to the show.
Cooper, who is also a primetime anchor on CNN, said in a statement that he decided to leave his role at CBS to spend more time with his children.
“Being a correspondent at ’60 Minutes’ has been one of the highlights of my career. I got to tell amazing stories, and work with some of the best producers, editors and camera crews in the business,” Cooper said. “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 want to spend time with me.”
CBS News expressed gratitude for his work on the long-running program.

“For more than two decades, Anderson Cooper has taken ’60 Minutes’ viewers on journeys to faraway places, told us unforgettable stories, reported consequential investigations and interviewed many prominent figures,” CBS News said in a statement. “We’re grateful to him for dedicating so much of his life to this broadcast, and understand the importance of spending more time with family. ’60 Minutes’ will be here if he ever wants to return.”
Cooper appeared on Sunday’s broadcast of “60 Minutes,” introducing a short video essay from documentary filmmaker Ken Burns about what he thinks would surprise America’s Founding Fathers about the U.S. ahead of its 250th anniversary.
Cooper started working as a correspondent for “60 Minutes” in the 2006-2007 television season through an agreement between CBS News and CNN. He previously contributed stories to “60 Minutes II,” a onetime spinoff of the broadcast.
His departure follows a tumultuous time for “60 Minutes,” which premiered in 1968. Last spring, the show’s third executive producer in its history, Bill Owens, left the network, saying it has “become clear that I would not be allowed to run the show as I have always run it.”
Owens’ exit came while “60 Minutes” was at the center of a lawsuit that President Trump filed against Paramount, the parent company of CBS News, during the 2024 presidential campaign over the broadcast’s interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee.
Paramount ultimately settled with Mr. Trump last summer for $16 million. The settlement didn’t include an apology. The chair of Paramount’s board at the time, Shari Redstone, had recused herself from talks about the settlement as the Federal Communications Commission was reviewing a merger between Paramount and David Ellison’s Skydance Media.
A few weeks after the settlement, the FCC cleared the way for the merger to move forward.
