Nick Young (born in Princeton, Illinois) is an American broadcast journalist now retired from CBS News.
After his 1971 graduation from the University of Missouri's School of Journalism, Young joined the staff of WLW Radio in Cincinnati, Ohio, hosting an overnight telephone talk show.
While at WHDH he was involved along with the staff in award-winning coverage of many important local stories, including a major chemical spill, that was singled out for honors by Sigma Delta Chi, the Society of Professional Journalists.
During the next twenty years, Young covered many of the day's major stories—the O. J. Simpson trial, the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing, Mike Tyson's rape trial, political conventions, national campaigns, the wars in the Persian Gulf, the 9-11 attacks, the funeral of Mother Teresa, and other important assignments.
In 2006 he was named successor to World News Roundup anchor Christopher Glenn, who announced his retirement in February.
