Tony Dokoupil has promised that his upcoming tenure at CBS Evening News will be independent from the program’s corporate owner, pledging transparency and integrity to his viewers in order to earn back public trust in the media.
“As long as I sit in this chair: you come first. Not advertisers. Not politicians. Not corporate interests. And, yes, that does include the corporate owners of CBS. I report for you,” Dokoupil said in a video message Thursday.
