Norah O’Donnell has finally said goodbye to CBS Evening News, which she called the “honor of a lifetime.”
On Thursday, January 23, the anchor and journalist reflected on her time with the program during her final broadcast, saying, “The CBS Evening News is, for good reason, the longest-running evening newscast in America, and it has been powered by the finest journalists around the world — the correspondents, producers and researchers and crews who work tirelessly to bring you the news every night. And that won’t change, because journalism matters. I know that, because I have heard it from so many of you viewers.”
“So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for trusting us and welcoming hard news with heart into your homes.”
