Longtime Correspondent Mike Wallace Dead at 93, CBS News Reports
Mike Wallace, a pioneer of American broadcasting who confronted leaders and liars for the newsmagazine "60 Minutes" for four decades, has died, CBS News said. He was 93.
His death was announced on CBS by the anchor of its Sunday morning program, Charles Osgood. The network did not immediately specify when or where he died. Mr. Wallace had been ill for several years.
As one of the original correspondents and hosts of "60 Minutes," which was started in 1968, Mr. Wallace helped to establish the television newsmagazine format. "60 Minutes" is now the most popular such program on American television.
An earlier version of this news alert incorrectly stated that Mr. Wallace was 94.
