New ‘CBS Evening News’ anchor pledges transparency, urges viewers to hold him accountable
Tony Dokoupil vows to prioritize viewers and uphold transparency, promising independence from CBS owners amid declining trust in legacy media, which he says has failed the public for decades.
- On Thursday, Tony Dokoupil, incoming CBS Evening News anchor, released a video pledging transparency and independence from corporate interests, and he will start on Jan. 5.
- Amid concerns that trust has eroded, Tony Dokoupil was confirmed last month as CBS Evening News anchor under Bari Weiss, CBS News editor-in-chief, whose recent 60 Minutes segment pull sparked controversy.
- In his message, Dokoupil vowed `You come first` and pledged to `tell you what I know, when I know it and how I know it`, while the segment spread online after a Canadian broadcast partner error.
- Inside the newsroom, staffers reeled after Bari Weiss pulled a 60 Minutes segment recently, while CBS Evening News remains stuck in third place behind ABC and NBC.
- A veteran reporter by trade, Tony Dokoupil joined CBS in 2016 after MSNBC and others, succeeding John Dickerson and Maurice DuBois amid a difficult mission tied to Walter Cronkite's legacy.
