Bill Whitaker is a featured correspondent on CBS’s 60 Minutes, which since its founding in 1968, is widely considered the most successful and venerated news magazine show in the history of broadcast journalism. In this episode, Bill speaks about his long journey to get there, beginning with being raised and educated in the presciently named Media, Pennsylvania. With the help of various educators, Bill’s curiosity for history and storytelling led to a fascinating journalistic career, taking him through newsrooms in San Francisco, Charlotte, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Tokyo, and Beijing; but Bill’s keenest insights are saved for his current post in New York on 60 Minutes. What was it like to blow the lid off the opioid epidemic through a 4-episode investigation led by 60 Minutes producer and Harvard-Westlake alumnus Sam Hornblower '97? How did it feel to be at the US Capitol just days after the siege? And how does 60 Minutes inculcate and sustain its unparalleled culture of journalistic excellence? Bill cites Elinor Cadman of Media Elementary School, as well as Robert Huff and Richard Reinitz of Hobart College, as profound educational influences.

 On this episode of Career Journeys we have Bill Whitaker ’73 on the phone from New York City. Whitaker graduated from HWS as an American History major before going on to earn a master’s degree in African-American studies from Boston University and later attending a graduate Journalism program at the University of California, Berkeley. He is currently a correspondent for 60 Minutes on CBS News, where he has been for five years and at the network for four decades. His reporting has taken him to the Middle East covering Syrian refugees and the start of Operation Desert Storm, Japan for the Fukushima nuclear disaster, South Africa during the funeral of Nelson Mandela, and the presidential campaigns of Mitt Romney, Michael Dukakis, and George W. Bush. His investigative work has included the biggest data leak in Swiss Bank history, the efforts to capture el Chapo, and the opioid crisis in the United States. For his reporting he has won many awards including multiple Emmys. Whitaker has continued to support the Colleges since graduation, including as a panelist in Career Services’ New York Behind the Scenes trip and as a member of the Board of Trustees.
