Norah O'Donnell Ends Tenure as CBS Anchor

Norah O'Donnell will anchor her final CBS Evening News broadcast on January 24, four days after Donald Trump's inauguration, marking the end of her five-year tenure. She is transitioning to a senior correspondent role, focusing on high-profile interviews and special reports while continuing to contribute to CBS News programs. Following her departure, John Dickerson and Maurice DuBois will co-anchor the revamped Evening News from New York, implementing a new format that integrates more content from 60 Minutes and features a broader group of correspondents. CBS has experienced challenges in ratings under O'Donnell, typically finishing third behind ABC and NBC. O'Donnell's move comes amid broader changes at CBS News, including a new leadership structure. Her significant contributions during her tenure included investigative journalism and coverage of military issues, which were personal to her family background.
