It is good news, worthy of all acceptation; and yet not too good to be true.
I am thrilled to be joining 'CBS News' and to have the opportunity to collaborate with some of our profession's most talented journalists.

It's funny being the big news every day - and the good news every day.
Personally, I don't even read bummer news stories about the environment because it makes me feel helpless to fix anything and reminds me that the general population doesn't treat these issues as an important part of our political life.
To be sure, if you watch CNBC all day long you'll pick up some interesting news about particular companies and the economy as a whole. Unfortunately, to get to the useful information, you have to wade through reams of useless stuff, with little guidance on how to distinguish between the two.
I covered the first Gulf War in Saudi Arabia and Israel for ABC News.
The more real the murder is, the less interested I am in seeing it. It's hard enough to watch the news.
TV news is not very instructive.
For an incumbent like a president, who's been in the news every day, their family, they're well known.
My dad died of a heart attack when I was 15. I was bullied mercilessly in middle school. I went through a divorce - those not-so-great things are all a part of me, and they give me a place to go when I cover those stories on the news. I'm more empathetic, more relatable because of them.
Things that happen every day are, frankly, what we in the news business aren't good at covering because there is no one day in which they are news.

One day I am at home, watching dramatic images of Iraqi Yazidis fleeing for their lives being aired nonstop on 24-hour news channels.

First-class delivery of children's palliative care is life-changing. When families are confronted with the shattering news that their children have a life-limiting condition, their world can fall apart.
Almost 63 years ago, my father, John Johnson, named the publication 'Jet' because, as he said in the first issue, 'In the world today, everything is moving faster. There is more news and far less time to read it.' He could not have spoken truer words. We are not saying goodbye to 'Jet'; we are embracing the future as my father did in 1951.
