Bill Owen '60 Minutes' Second Hand

摘要

Bill Owens likes his job. Owens, 41, is the executive editor at CBS News's venerable newsmagazine 60 Minutes, which makes him No. 2 under Jeff Fager, the executive producer. "It's one of the last places doing real journalism," he says. So, yes, it does beat digging ditches. And Owens should know. Owens' first "job" at CBS News was in the summer of 1985, when he worked as a page at the political conventions. "I couldn't get over the fact that they were letting me answer the phones in the news trailer," he says.
