CBS Evening News co-anchor John Dickerson announced that he is departing CBS News on Monday. In a message posted on Instagram, Dickerson wrote:
"At the end of this year, I will leave CBS, sixteen years after I sat in as Face the Nation anchor for the first time. I am extremely grateful for all that CBS gave me — the work, the audience’s attention and the honor of being a part of the network’s history — and I am grateful for the dear colleagues who’ve made me a better journalist and a better human. I will miss you."
Dickerson’s departure comes at a time of great upheaval at the storied network. Its parent company, Paramount Plus, was widely scrutinized — including by Dickerson — for settling a lawsuit filed against it by President Donald Trump over a 60 Minutes interview with his 2024 general election opponent, former Vice President Kamala Harris.
More recently, former New York Times editor and Free Press founder Bari Weiss assumed the role of editor-in-chief at the company to the chagrin of many on the left. Weiss, a lifelong liberal, has emerged as one of the mainstream media’s most vocal critics in recent years, and is expected to make considerable changes at the network.
