"CBS News on Wednesday named Tony Dokoupil, one of the hosts of its morning show, as the next anchor of the "CBS Evening News.""
""CBS Evening News" is the network's flagship nightly newscast, drawing several million viewers each night, although it lags its competitors at ABC and NBC."
""We live in a time in which many people have lost trust in the media; Tony Dokoupil is the person to win it back," Weiss said in a statement Wednesday. "That's because he believes in old-school journalistic values: asking the hard questions, following the facts wherever they lead and holding power to account.""
CBS News appointed Tony Dokoupil as the next anchor of the CBS Evening News, replacing the dual-anchor team of John Dickerson and Maurice DuBois, both leaving the network. The move is the first significant change at the broadcast news division under new editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, who began the role in October after being hired by David Ellison. Weiss praised Dokoupil's commitment to traditional journalistic values and framed him as someone who can rebuild public trust. Dokoupil joined CBS as a correspondent in 2016 and is noted as a student of television history.
