- Morley Safer is a Canadian reporter and correspondent for CBS News. He is best known for his long tenure on the newsmagazine 60 Minutes, which began in December 1970. Safer was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He attended Harbord Collegiate Institute, and graduated from University of Western Ontario. Safer began his journalism career as a reporter for various newspapers in Canada and England. Later, he joined the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation as a correspondent and producer. In 1964, Safer joined CBS News as a London-based correspondent. In 1965, he opened the CBS News bureau in Saigon. That year he followed a group of United States Marines to the village of Cam Ne, for what was described as a "search and destroy" mission. When the Marines arrived, they gave orders in English to the inhabitants—by all accounts harmless civilians—to evacuate the village. When the homes were cleared, the Marines burned their thatched roofs with flamethrowers and Zippo lighters. Safer's report on this event was broadcast on CBS News on August 5 1966 and was among the first reports to paint a bleak picture of the Vietnam War. President Lyndon Baines Johnson reacted to this report angrily, calling CBS's president and accusing Safer and his colleagues of having "shat on the American flag. " Certain that Safer was a communist, Johnson also ordered a security check; upon being told that Safer 'wasn't a communist, just a Canadian', he responded "Well, I knew he wasn't an American. " In 1967, Safer was named the London bureau chief, a post he held for three years. In 1970, he left London to replace Harry Reasoner on 60 Minutes, after Reasoner left to anchor the ABC Evening News (although Reasoner would return to 60 Minutes in 1978, alongside Safer). Safer has been on the program since that time. Safer is also the author of the bestselling book, Flashbacks: On Returning to Vietnam. He and his wife, the former Jane Fearer, live in New York City. They have a daughter, Sarah, who is a graduate of Brown University.

- Morley Safer on kanadalainen reportteri ja kirjeenvaihtaja, joka työskentelee CBS:n uutisohjelmassa 60 Minutes. Hän on toiminut ohjelmassa vuodesta 1970 lähtien. Safer syntyi Torontossa, Ontariossa. Vuonna 1964 hän aloitti CBS Newsin Lontoon kirjeenvaihtajana. 1965 hän avasi CBS Newsin toimiston Saigoniin, Vietnamiin. Hän seurasi sinä vuonna yhdysvaltalaista sotilasjoukkoa ja tallensi kuvanauhalle kuinka se tuhosi evakuoidun vietnamilaiskylän sytyttämällä sen tuleen. Saferin raportti esitettiin elokuussa 1965. Presidentti Lyndon B. Johnson vaati CBS:n johtajaa Frank Stantonia erottamaan Saferin, mutta Stanton kieltäytyi. Johnson uhkasi tuoda julkisuuteen Saferin väitetyt kommunistisuhteet. Hänen adjutanttinsa tarkistivat asian, mutta tällaisia suhteita ei kuitenkaan löytynyt. Vuonna 1967 Safer nimitettiin Lontoon toimiston päälliköksi. Hän toimi päällikkönä kolme vuotta, kunnes vuonna 1970 hän liittyi 60 Minutes -ohjelmaan. Safer on kirjoittanut bestseller-kirjan Flashbacks: On Returning to Vietnam. Hän on saanut uransa aikana lukuisia palkintoja, muun muassa 12 Emmya.

I 1965 ble han overført til Saigon i Vietnam hvor han fulgte en gruppe marine-soldater på tokt i en vietamesisk landsby. Når soldatene ankom landsbyen beordret de innbyggerne å forlate stedet hvorpå de brente ned husene deres. Safers rapport ble sent på CBS like etter og var en av de første rapportene fra Vietnam-krigen som viste hvor hensynsløs den amerikanske krigføingen var. Reaksjonene uteble ikke og president Lyndon B. Johnson beskyldte han for å sverte det amerikanske flagg samt at han var kommunist. Tre år etter ble Safer sendt tilbake til London, og i 1970 forlot han London og reiste til USA for å bli en korrespondent i tv-programmet 60 Minutes - hvor han har vært siden. Safer har utgitt boka Flashbacks: On Returning to Vietnam, som ble en best-seller. Han har vunnet flere priser for sin journalistikk, blant annet flere Emmy Awards.
