Another high-profile CBS News reporter is leaving the network.
Scott MacFarlane, a justice correspondent for the network since 2021, announced Monday on social media that he’s departing, and he shared a note that he sent earlier to his colleagues.
“To my incredible colleagues at CBS: I want to personally let you know that my work will soon no longer appear on CBS News,” MacFarlane wrote. “This is my decision, and I appreciate the bosses at CBS for understanding it. I will always value the opportunity I had to work alongside the talented and committed professionals here. I’m proud to have had the words ‘CBS correspondent’ next to my name – always will be.”
“For the next phase of my career, I look forward to some independence and finding new spaces to share my work in line with my personal goals,” he added. “I thank you all. The work will not stop, and I’ll always be a call away.”
MacFarlane, who’s been a reporter in Washington, D.C., for more than 20 years, follows “60 Minutes” anchor Anderson Cooper in leaving CBS News after conservative commentator Bari Weiss was named editor-in-chief by network boss David Ellison, who took over through his company Paramount Skydance.
