Norah O'Donnell departs as CBS Evening News anchor as network revamps newscast

Norah O'Donnell has concluded her role as anchor of CBS Evening News after five years. She received a farewell narrated by Oprah Winfrey, highlighting her impactful reporting and dedication to journalism. O'Donnell will continue at CBS as a senior correspondent. Starting Monday, CBS will launch a revamped evening newscast with John Dickerson and Maurice DuBois as co-anchors. The broadcast will return to New York, with a focus on correspondents and their stories, rather than the anchors themselves. This change reflects a broader trend in news media, as networks adapt to shifting viewer habits and reduce costs. Other notable departures include Hoda Kotb from Today and Chris Wallace from CNN.
