John Dickerson, co-anchor of “CBS Evening News,” said Monday he will exit the network at the end of the year.
Dickerson will be the first major talent departure since the arrival of Bari Weiss as editor in chief of CBS News last month.
The veteran political journalist who joined CBS News in 2009 gave no reason for leaving in an Instagram post announcing his decision.
“I am extremely grateful for all that CBS News 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 my dear colleagues who’ve made me a better journalist and a better human being and I will miss you,” Dickerson wrote.
Dickerson became co-anchor of “CBS Evening News” in January alongside Maurice DuBois, succeeding Norah O’Donnell. The duo were part of a revamp of the program, which put an emphasis on more in-depth stories.
The format change failed to attract new viewers as it remains in third place behind “ABC World News Tonight with David Muir” and “NBC Nightly News with Tom Llamas.”
There had been talk of significant changes coming to the newscast before Weiss signed on for a senior role at the division.
Weiss has reportedly expressed interest in bringing Fox News anchor Bret Baier to CBS, but his current employer has him under contract through 2028. Baier anchors “Special Report,” a nightly newscast that like many Fox News programs is closely followed by President Trump.
Anderson Cooper, whose contract will soon be up at CNN, has also been mentioned internally as an evening news anchor candidate.

The changes to “CBS Evening News” were initiated by former “60 Minutes” executive producer Bill Owens, who was pushed out of the company amid the controversy over a 2024 interview with former vice president Kamala Harris.
Trump sued the network over the interview, which he said was deceptively edited to help her presidential campaign. Although the case was labeled frivolous by 1st Amendment experts, Paramount settled the suit for $16 million to clear the regulatory path for its merger with Skydance Media.
A former writer for Time magazine, Dickerson came to CBS News as a contributor before taking on a variety of roles in the division. He was anchor of the Washington-based public affairs program “Face the Nation.” He moved to New York to join “CBS This Morning” after the network fired Charlie Rose over sexual harassment allegations in 2017.

The changes to “CBS Evening News” were initiated by former “60 Minutes” executive producer Bill Owens, who was pushed out of the company amid the controversy over a 2024 interview with former vice president Kamala Harris.
Trump sued the network over the interview, which he said was deceptively edited to help her presidential campaign. Although the case was labeled frivolous by 1st Amendment experts, Paramount settled the suit for $16 million to clear the regulatory path for its merger with Skydance Media.
A former writer for Time magazine, Dickerson came to CBS News as a contributor before taking on a variety of roles in the division. He was anchor of the Washington-based public affairs program “Face the Nation.” He moved to New York to join “CBS This Morning” after the network fired Charlie Rose over sexual harassment allegations in 2017.
Dickerson anchored a nightly prime-time newscast on CBS News Streaming before being tapped for “CBS Evening News.” He could not be immediately reached for comment.
John Dickerson, co-anchor of “CBS Evening News,” said Monday he will exit the network at the end of the year.
Dickerson will be the first major talent departure since the arrival of Bari Weiss as editor in chief of CBS News last month.
The veteran political journalist who joined CBS News in 2009 gave no reason for leaving in an Instagram post announcing his decision.
“I am extremely grateful for all that CBS News 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 my dear colleagues who’ve made me a better journalist and a better human being and I will miss you,” Dickerson wrote.
Dickerson became co-anchor of “CBS Evening News” in January alongside Maurice DuBois, succeeding Norah O’Donnell. The duo were part of a revamp of the program, which put an emphasis on more in-depth stories.
The format change failed to attract new viewers as it remains in third place behind “ABC World News Tonight with David Muir” and “NBC Nightly News with Tom Llamas.”
There had been talk of significant changes coming to the newscast before Weiss signed on for a senior role at the division.
Weiss has reportedly expressed interest in bringing Fox News anchor Bret Baier to CBS, but his current employer has him under contract through 2028. Baier anchors “Special Report,” a nightly newscast that like many Fox News programs is closely followed by President Trump.
Anderson Cooper, whose contract will soon be up at CNN, has also been mentioned internally as an evening news anchor candidate.
