CNN Secures Key Talent in High-Stakes Journalism Landscape In a significant move, CNN has managed to retain the services of veteran journalist and former CBS News foreign correspondent, Michael Ward, for another year. Ward's decision to extend his contract with CNN, announced in April, is a major coup for the network, which has been actively seeking to bolster its roster of experienced journalists. As a contributor to the esteemed CBS News program "60 Minutes," Ward brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the table, and his continued presence at CNN is likely to be a major draw for viewers seeking in-depth, high-quality reporting from around the world. With Ward's extension, CNN looks set to maintain its position as a leading player in the competitive world of global journalism.
Ward, a former CBS News foreign correspondent who contributed to "60 Minutes," agreed to a one-year extension to remain at CNN in April.
