DuBois joined CBS News after years at WCBS-TV in New York City. He became a revered voice for millions of viewers.
He co-anchored CBS Evening News with John Dickerson less than a year ago. His departure marks another shift in the network’s lineup.
“Twenty-one years altogether,” DuBois wrote. “What a privilege to be welcomed into your homes night after night.”
Industry Changes Shape Departure
