- The son of an Austrian immigrant whose family was lost to the Nazi purges, Canadian-born journalist Morley Safer grew up in the shadow of the Second World War, reading several newspapers a day and listening to radio dispatches from Europe. As a cub reporter for the Canadian Broadcasting System during the Fifties, Safer served his apprenticeship in London, where he would later be posted as a bureau chief for the American network, CBS. Initially uncomfortable with the transition from writing the news to appearing on-camera, Safer distinguished himself during two tours of duty in Vietnam, where his reporting on atrocities committed by U.S. troops changed the national perception of the war in Southeast Asia and drew the ire of then-President Lyndon B. Johnson, who branded Safer anti-American. In 1970, Safer accepted a correspondent's position on the groundbreaking news magazine program "60 Minutes" (CBS, 1968- ). Safer's probing but anti-sensational approach to news-gathering made him an audience favorite, a trusted voice, and an avuncular tonic to the show's muckraking star, Mike Wallace, with whom Safer frequently found himself in contretemps. A multiple Emmy Award winner and recipient of a host of awards for journalistic excellence, Morley Safer's more than 50-year career stamped him as an international icon of old school journalism, a television news pioneer and one of the last links to the golden age of news reporting, staying on staff at "60 Minutes" until the week before his death from pneumonia at the age of 84 on May 19, 2016.

- Disarmingly intelligent talk show host Charlie Rose became one of broadcasting's most respected interviewers as the creator of his long-running eponymous television program, only to see that respect fall apart in 2017 when he was accused of sexual harassment by multiple women. After leaving a job in the financial industry in the mid-1970s, he received invaluable mentoring from esteemed journalist-commentator Bill Moyers as a producer on "Bill Moyers Journal" (PBS, 1971-1981). A move to Texas near the end of the decade provided him with the opportunity to host his own program "The Charlie Rose Show" (KXAS, 1979-1981), prior to his receiving national exposure and an Emmy for his work on the ground-breaking "CBS News Nightwatch" (CBS, 1982-1992). It was, however, as the host of "Charlie Rose" (PBS, 1991-2017) where he found his format and his calling, as host, producer and de facto booking agent. Inquisitive yet gracious, his interview style was far less aggressive than that of a "hard news" reporter, yet more nuanced than any question posed in the average "puff piece." Rose conducted his discussions in direct conversational style, allowing no one other than himself and his guest in the studio during the interview - a feat accomplished through the employment of robotic cameras. Rose's reputation as a fair but thoughtful host enabled him to secure in-depth interviews with such diverse personalities as poet-author Maya Angelou, Microsoft founder Bill Gates and actor-director George Clooney; and led to a second gig with CBS, where he served as a co-anchor for "CBS This Morning" from 2012 to 2017. However, Rose's reputation suffered when, in November 2017, eight women accused him of sexual harassment. Following the allegations, Rose was fired by CBS News, and PBS cancelled his long-running talk show.

Later, he became director of information for the Peace Corps, serving from 1961 until 1963. He left the government and became a reporter for the New York Herald Tribune newspaper and in his first week on the job rode in the press bus in the motorcade of President John F. Kennedy when Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. By 1966, NBC News had taken notice of his varied background and hired him as a correspondent.
