Over the years, Mr. Cooper, 58, has become one of the program\u2019s most recognizable journalists, winning Emmy Awards for his coverage of sexual assault in the Democratic Republic of Congo and for a story about an unlikely group of Grammy-nominated musicians in Malawi\u2019s Zomba Prison.In a statement, CBS News said it was thankful that Mr. Cooper had \u201ctaken 60 Minutes viewers on journeys to faraway places, told us unforgettable stories, reported consequential investigations and interviewed many prominent figures.\u201d\u201cWe\u2019re grateful to him for dedicating so much of his life to this broadcast, and understand the importance of spending more time with family,\u201d the statement said. \u201c\u201860 Minutes\u2019 will be here if he ever wants to return.\u201d\u201c60 Minutes\u201d has come under scrutiny recently because of tensions between its on-air correspondents and Bari Weiss, the recently appointed editor in chief of CBS News. The program itself became a story late last year after Ms. Weiss made a last-minute decision to hold a segment about a prison in El Salvador over the objections of Sharyn Alfonsi, the veteran \u201c60 Minutes\u201d correspondent who covered the story. Ms. Weiss said the piece needed more reporting; Ms. Alfonsi said the decision was motivated by politics.The story eventually ran with minimal changes. Ms. Weiss later said in a town-hall meeting with employees in January that she had no desire to repeat \u201cthat specific logistical nightmare,\u201d of pulling a story so close to broadcast, ever again.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTIn recent years, Mr. Cooper\u2019s career has encompassed much more than TV news. He has written several books, most recently a historical biography chronicling the wealthy Astor family (Mr. Cooper is a scion of another Gilded Age dynasty, the Vanderbilts.) He also hosts a podcast about grief and bereavement, \u201cAll There Is,\u201d which explores loss with in-depth interviews.Mr. Cooper\u2019s departure was earlier reported by Breaker, an email newsletter.Benjamin Mullin reports for The Times on the major companies behind news and entertainment.
