As special correspondent for the network, Glor will continue to highlight the unique American stories he has featured for more than 12 years at CBS News, including the award-winning pieces of the last 18 months. In the coming weeks, Glor will begin a new, ongoing series for all CBS News broadcasts and platforms under the banner “Who We Are,” which will feature inspiring stories across the country similar to his reporting on Gold Star families and people across America defying the odds. Glor will also work with the CBS News investigative unit on hard-hitting original reporting and investigations such as his recent examination of the National Flood Insurance Program, which sparked congressional action and won a Society of Professional Journalists Sigma Delta Chi award.

“Jeff brings a humanity to his reporting and will be a perfect fit on SATMO, as it is fondly called around the CBS Broadcast Center,” said Zirinsky. “Jeff and Brian Applegate, executive producer of CBS THIS MORING: SATURDAY, have an extraordinary history together and have known each other for more than two decades. I am thrilled they can build on their creative partnership with Dana, Michelle and the entire team.”

“I’m looking forward to working closely with Brian again,” said Glor. “The Saturday broadcast is a gem. Brian and his team have established a destination program for news, culture and music. I can’t wait to work with Michelle Miller and Dana Jacobson. I’m also honored to follow in Anthony Mason’s footsteps, who is a writer, host, and colleague I’ve learned from for a long time.”

Glor is an award-winning, veteran CBS News journalist with more than two decades of experience. He joined the Network in 2007 as a correspondent and traveled for more than a decade, reporting from the shootings in Newtown, Conn., the Boston Marathon bombings, and the landfall of Superstorm Sandy, among many others. Most recently, he served as anchor of the CBS EVENING NEWS, sitting down with world leaders such as French President Emmanuel Macron and President Donald Trump and conducting on-the-ground interviews with everyday Americans to share their stories.
