John Dickerson is ready to face his next chapter.
The CBS Evening News co-anchor announced his impending exit from CBS News, nearly two decades after joining the organization.
“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,” he wrote in a post on Instagram Oct. 27. “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.”
Dickerson, 57, also shared a series of photos featuring highlights from his tenure at the network as he recognized the contributions of his peers.
“I am grateful for my dear colleagues who’ve made me a better journalist and a better human,” he continued. “I will miss you.”
CBS News president Tom Cibrowski also addressed Dickerson’s departure, noting that the TV personality “epitomized the very best of journalism.”
