Christiane Amanpour is leaving CNN in June 2027, bringing more than 43 years with the network to an end. She joined the young outlet at the start of its life and stayed through the wars and upheavals that defined the late twentieth century. Her reporting from besieged cities and front lines built a reputation for going where other correspondents would not. Over the years she questioned presidents, generals, dissidents and oligarchs with a style that pressed past talking points. The decision ends the longest continuous run by any anchor of her stature at the network. Details about what she will do next have not been spelled out in the announcement. Viewers who watched her from the Balkans and the Middle East will follow the goodbye closely.
