National correspondents Jericka Duncan and Adriana Diaz have been named new anchors of CBS Weekend News.
Duncan will anchor on Saturdays from Chicago, and Duncan will have Sunday duties from New York. Duncan will anchor this Sunday and Diaz will helm on Dec. 12. They will assume their permanent positions in January.
CBS News president Susan Zirinsky said that Duncan and Diaz “are outstanding journalists with extensive reporting experience. Adriana’s reporting has spanned China, North Korea and Latin America to today’s coverage of Covid-19’s devastating impact on the nation. Jericka has distinguished herself in reporting the toughest, highest-profile stories that have hit the courts and gripped the country including the trials of Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby and Breonna Taylor.”
The Covid-19 pandemic also has forced the news division to broadcast the newscast from across the country with various anchors because of the limitations on the CBS Broadcast Center in New York.

Chicago prosecutors dropped all charges against “Empire” star Jussie Smollett on Tuesday, but the State’s Attorney’s office said it stands behind the investigation and having brought the charges in the first place.
“We didn’t exonerate him,” First Assistant State’s Attorney Joe Magats said in an interview with the New York Times on Tuesday. “We stand behind the investigation, we stand behind the decision to charge him and we stand behind the charges in the case. The mere fact that it was disposed of in an alternative manner does not mean that there were any problems or infirmities in the case or the evidence.”
Magats, the lead prosecutor on Smollett’s case and the person whose decision it was to dismiss the charges, later went even further in an interview with CBS Chicago. “I do not believe he is innocent,” he told reporter Adriana Diaz.

Jussie Smollett may have had all the criminal charges against him for an alleged racial and homophobic attack dropped today, but that doesn’t mean he’s innocent says the state attorney handling the high-profile case.
“I do not believe he is innocent,” First Assistant Cook County State’s Attorney Joseph Magats told Chicago media on Tuesday of the 16 felony charges the Empire star faced.
Hit with deep criticism and anger from the Windy City’s soon-to-be departing Mayor Rahm Emanuel and the Chicago Police for the decision to end the case, Magats also noted that he thought Smollett was guilty of faking an assault against himself on January 29. The prosecutor asserted that the actor was not exonerated by the decision.
Here is a portion of Magats sit-down with CBS’ Adriana Diaz today:
