On Sunday, Morley Safer will end his run as the longest-serving correspondent on 60 Minutes.
His retirement was announced Wednesday, and CBS will run an hour-long special after this Sunday's 60 Minutes titled Morley Safer: A Reporter's Life. Safer, 84, joined CBS in 1964, and started on 60 Minutes in 1970; he went on to present more than 900 reports, with his last one airing in March. The Canadian-born journalist first worked in print, and over the course of his career won 12 Emmys, three Peabody Awards, three Overseas Press Club Awards, and two George Polk Memorial Awards.
