Catherine Herridge, the chief intelligence correspondent for Fox News, confirmed on Thursday that she will be leaving the network to join CBS News because “facts matter.”
“I have received great personal satisfaction from mentoring the next generation of reporters and producers and sharing my journalistic values — that facts matter and enterprise reporting will always win the day,” the statement released through Fox News said.
“I feel privileged to join a team where facts and storytelling will always matter,” Herridge said in a second statement released by CBS.
According to CNN, who spoke with two sources close to Herridge, the Fox News reporter had been in talks with the network about leaving prior to the departure of daytime anchor Shepard Smith.
Her last day at Fox will be Friday.
