The new Evening News will be guided by storytelling and strong writing that takes a deeper dive into the day’s events. Viewers should expect to see some 60 Minutes DNA infused into those 30 minutes, as well taking advantage of the network’s correspondents and affiliates.
The CBS Evening News is leaving Washington, D.C.—where O’Donnell anchored for the past five years—as President Donald Trump returns to the White House with a newsworthy second-term agenda.
People familiar with the show indicate that nothing has changed regarding its coverage of the nation’s capital, as Brennan will spearhead coverage alongside D.C. bureau correspondents. The newscast will also explore how the decisions made within the halls of power play out in America’s communities.
Meanwhile, Dickerson and DuBois will bring their own energy and skill to big stories and also contribute field reporting and interviews. Quinn will provide the weather using CBS News’ “giant green bathtub” technology.
