As expected, "60 Minutes" correspondent Scott Pelley has been named anchor of "CBS Evening News," the network announced Tuesday. He will take over for Katie Couric on June 6 and will continue to report stories for "60 Minutes. Scott has it all. He has the experience, the credibility, and he is among the very best reporters ever to work at CBS News," said CBS News chairman and "60 Minutes" executive producer Jeff Fager in a statement. "In more than two decades at CBS News, he has distinguished himself at every level, right up to his current role at '60 Minutes,' where his work has been incomparable. We like to think of CBS News as the 'reporter's network' and I can't think of anybody in this business better suited for the anchor chair than Scott."
He and [Mike Wallace] both mean so much," said Jeff Fager, executive producer of 60 Minutes. "Their faces, their voices, their styles, their abilities are so entwined with everything we do. They're very important to the legacy and very important to maintaining the quality that people expect. "In the end, our votes may not have counted, but at least there was a back and forth and discussion, most of it reasonably collegial, by the way," he said. "There is not that collective input anymore. On things that could be considered shifts or changes in the broadcast there is little discussion. I'm not blaming Jeff for that. I don't know who to blame." The offices on Manhattan's far West Side are quieter now. "With [Don Hewitt], there was a lot of high emotion and screaming and shouting, which ...
NEW YORK - Casey Anthony, acquitted for murdering her daughter Caylee, will likely face a choice when she decides to grant an interview: Should she take the best chance for rehabilitating her image or the best chance for a payday? Her consideration comes at a time when broadcast network executives are particularly skittish about the impression of paying subjects to talk. At the same time, networks wonder about sitting down with someone so deeply unpopular.
... a terrible practice," said CBS News Chairman Jeff Fager. "For our organization, it goes against what...
OUR TOP STORY TONIGHT: Grinding conflicts in the Middle East, a sputtering economy, high gas prices, "birther" stories about the president and twisters ravaging the South. Oh, wait. That was April. It changed with the calendar on the first night of May, when the thunder was not meteorological but news-based: Osama bin Laden was dead, killed in a daring raid by Americans in Pakistan. It may not be very Christian of me, but I threw my arms up and cheered. Woo-hoo! U-S-A! Those who went to bed early might have missed it, although my wife was awakened by my college daughter's phone call, who likely saw a mention on Facebook as people heard the White House had something big to announce.

NEW YORK - Andy Rooney so dreaded the day he had to end his signature "60 Minutes" commentaries about life's large and small absurdities that he kept going until he was 92 years old. Even then, he said he wasn't retiring. Writers never retire. But his life after the end of "A Few Minutes With Andy Rooney" was short: He died Friday night, according to CBS, only a month after delivering his 1,097th and final televised commentary.

NEW YORK - When Dan Rather took a job to create a news program at Mark Cuban's little-seen HDNet, it felt like a television version of a rebound relationship. His departure from CBS News was fresh and bitter, and who was this new suitor, after all? Yet Rather is now approaching several milestones: five years at HDNet; nearly 200 episodes of "Dan Rather Reports"; and on Halloween, an 80th birthday as a still-working reporter.
