Golodryga Confirms CNN Exit, Reportedly in Talks With Politico and CBS News
The journalist is said to be weighing a global affairs role at Politico and a contributor position at CBS News, though the talks remain unconfirmed.
Bianna Golodryga has confirmed that she is leaving CNN, and is reportedly negotiating separate roles with Politico and CBS News, according to comingsoon.net. Under the proposed arrangements, she would cover global affairs for Politico and serve as a contributor for CBS News.
The talks are not confirmed, and neither Politico nor CBS News has commented publicly on them.
Golodryga joined CNN in 2017, anchoring its international service and filling in for Christiane Amanpour and Fareed Zakaria. She previously spent two years as a contributor while co-anchoring CBS This Morning alongside Gayle King, John Dickerson and Norah O'Donnell.
Her exit comes as CNN faces a wider on-air change: earlier this week, Amanpour announced she will leave the network next year after nearly four decades in television news.
Before CNN, Golodryga worked as a news and finance anchor for Yahoo News and co-anchored the weekend edition of Good Morning America. She began her television career in 2001 as a bureau producer at the New York Stock Exchange for CNBC.
