Rita Braver To Retire From ‘CBS News Sunday Morning’

deadline.com:

Rita Braver will retire from CBS News Sunday Morning at the end of this month, capping a career at the network that has spanned more than 50 years. “Those who know Rita and Sunday Morning realize how essential she’s been to our work,” Rand Morrison, executive producer of Sunday Morning, wrote in a message to staffers. “Not simply because of her excellent reporting, her keen sense of curiosity about all kinds of things, and her willingness to take on almost any assignment – however demanding or complex the subject  – but also because Rita has always brought professionalism, clarity, and a passion for quality to every story that’s come her way.” He added, “To call it this end of an era… barely does justice to the challenges we’ll face now that we can no longer pick up the phone and call on Rita.” Braver started as a staffer at the news desk in the Washington bureau in 1972, and later was chief law correspondent from 1983 to 1993.

She worked on network newsmagazines including 48 Hours, Street Stories and Public Eye with Bryant Gumbel, and served as chief White House correspondent during the first term of President Bill Clinton.

She has been national correspondent for Sunday Morning since 1998. Braver has won multiple Emmy awards and was inducted into the National Television Academy of Arts & Sciences Gold Circle last fall.
