I'm deeply touched by outpouring of support as I start an exciting new adventure: taking all that I have learned, experienced and reported about the world during nearly 27 years at CNN, to This Week. It’s a magnificent Sunday morning news program, rich in the tradition of serious journalism. I look forward to the rare... opportunity to explore important U.S. and international issues & policy, and how each vitally affects the other.

I've read all your wonderful comments and I'm truly touched, grateful & overwhelmed by your support. I've always hugely respected & appreciated CNN’s audience of caring, curious, inquiring people around the U.S. and all across the globe.

It's been my privilege to be your eyes and ears around the world. At this powerful platform for nearly 27 years, I've tried to stand for the pursuit of truth, the search for fact-based information for reporting news and without fear nor favor.

I'll continue at CNN until the end of April, and then I will take this mission to ABC This Week. Thank you and stay tuned on TV, online via Twitter and Faceboook and on the podcast as the journey continues.
