War reporting icon Christiane Amanpour to bid farewell to CNN after 43 years
Christiane Amanpour, CNN's chief international anchor who covered conflicts from the Gulf War to Bosnia, has announced she will leave the network next June.
Christiane Amanpour, CNN's chief international anchor, has announced she will leave the network next June after 43 years. The 68-year-old journalist, who was born in London to an Iranian father and a British mother and grew up in Tehran, said she made the decision "after many months of thought and a few sleepless nights."
Amanpour thanked the show teams and field crews she worked with in a career that took her from her first big assignment, the first Gulf War, to the Bosnian War, Rwanda, Afghanistan, Ukraine and Iran. Addressing journalists, she said: "Remember: always be truthful, not neutral."
Her eponymous program on CNN International, which she has hosted since 2009, will air once a week from January 2027 and end in May. She will keep reporting for CNN through June, while her PBS program "Amanpour & Company" will end in December.
CNN Chairman Mark Thompson thanked her for "43 extraordinary years" in a memo to staff, calling her "one of the most trusted and beloved journalists anywhere."
