The revamped CBS Morning News today unveiled its quartet of correspondents. Lead correspondent David Begnaud, Jericka Duncan, Anna Werner and Vladimir Duthiers will be dedicated to the show and deliver original reporting on the day’s top stories, investigative reports and news-making interviews.
The four will appear with co-hosts Gayle King — who recently re-upped her deal — and newcomers Anthony Mason and Tony Dokoupil. The reporters’ stories also will be featured on CBS Evening News and the network’s other news platforms.
“Having a dedicated team of correspondents will provide a consistent, high level of original reporting that viewers can count on each day,” CBS Morning News executive producer Diana Miller said. “Each one of them brings something different to the broadcast and is focused on our mission of hard news with a heart.”

News Team: Assemble.
CBS News plans to hurl a new anchor squad into TV’s morning-news wars Monday when a different trio – Gayle King, Anthony Mason and Tony Dokoupil – takes the helm at “CBS This Morning.” The A.M. effort that has won critical plaudits by focusing on harder news topics, like international affairs and business, and has given CBS new momentum in a daypart dominated by ABC’s “Good Morning America” and NBC’s “Today” that it struggled in the past to conquer. But the show has ceded ground in recent months.
That doesn’t mean CBS is going to abandon the program’s newsier premise, says Diana Miller, its new executive producer. Viewers still won’t be seeing an abundance of cooking segments or summer concert series. “We are certainly not going to be doing less news,” she says. “In this day and age, there’s no shortage of it.
