Veteran 60 Minutes journalist Scott Pelley took aim at the previous owners of his parent network, CBS, for settling a lawsuit with President Donald Trump to the tune of $16 million.
Appearing at the National Press Foundation’s annual journalism awards on Thursday evening, Pelley introduced former 60 Minutes chief Bill Owens, who was honored with the 2025 Benjamin C. Bradlee Editor of the Year Award.
While introducing Owens, who resigned from his role as executive producer of CBS News’ 60 Minutes in April amid growing pressure from both Paramount and the Trump administration, Pelley referenced the circumstances that precipitated Owens’ departure.
