"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."
"Journalists don't like to report on themselves. Sometimes that's false humility. Mostly, it's a practical limitation. Reporters try to find order in chaos. We prefer to explain the cause of a bombing, the intent of a bill, the marvel of a new discovery. Putting chaos in preliminary order helps viewers make sense of their world. They tell us this at airports, restaurants, and at church. The audience brings us their fears, their questions, their good faith view of things."
John Dickerson announced departure from CBS News at the end of the year after sixteen years, posting the news on Instagram. He expressed gratitude for the work, audience attention, and colleagues who improved his journalism and humanity, and said he will miss them. His exit coincides with significant upheaval at the network, including Paramount Global's settlement of a lawsuit with President Trump over a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris. Recent leadership changes include Bari Weiss assuming the company editor-in-chief role, a development that has unsettled many on the left and is expected to prompt considerable changes at the network.
