Scott Pelley and Sharyn Alfonsi, two former correspondents for 60 Minutes, have been appointed journalists-in-residence at Columbia University's School of Journalism. The role begins with the 2026-2027 academic term, the university announced Monday.
The pair will work with students through lectures, workshops and special events. They will each also contribute a piece to the Columbia Journalism Review.
Pelley and Alfonsi were among those who left the top-rated CBS news program in May as part of a shakeup.
Separately, The Hollywood Reporter has said that former executive producer Bill Owens has been talking with former correspondents, including Pelley, about raising money for a new newsmagazine that could be sold to a streaming service.
