Norah O’Donnell to step down as CBS evening news anchor following the election

Norah O’Donnell has decided to step down as the anchor of the “CBS Evening News” following the presidential election, as announced on Tuesday. Having served as the top anchor of the newscast for five years and previously as the anchor of the network’s morning show, O’Donnell shared with her CBS News colleagues in an email that she feels it is time for a change after being immersed in the demands of a daily broadcast and a relentless news cycle.
She mentioned that she will continue to work with CBS News on interviews and other stories, although the specifics of her new role have not been fully defined yet. While CBS has confirmed its commitment to keeping the broadcast running, no details have been provided regarding who will be taking over O’Donnell’s position.
The “CBS Evening News,” which has been a traditional platform for respected journalists like Walter Cronkite and Dan Rather, generally ranks third in network ratings, trailing behind ABC’s “World News Tonight” with David Muir and the “NBC Nightly News” with Lester Holt.
