Summary
Mark Seliger shot a new group portrait of the 10-member 60 Minutes season 59 team at New York’s Oyster Bar in Grand Central Terminal.
The location was chosen for its CBS News roots: Grand Central housed CBS Television Studios from 1939 to 1964, and Edward R. Murrow recorded early programs above the Oyster Bar.
Nick Bilton called the image a homage to CBS News’ broadcast beginnings, while Seliger said he aimed to capture both the journalists’ individual character and the team’s chemistry.
Sept. 13 marks the new season premiere, which will include the first interview with a U.S. Air Force officer rescued after spending 2 days behind enemy lines in Iran.
