Weijia Jiang, a Senior White House Correspondent for CBS News, filled in as anchor of the network's evening news Friday. (12/18 was the last day at the anchor's desk for the team of John Dickerson and Maurice Dubois; Tony Dokoupil will be the new anchor.)
Weijia began her career on the Eastern Shore at WBOC in 2006. Later she made stops in Baltimore and New York along a path that led her to CBS. She will be president of the White House Correspondents Association in 2026.
Hallie Jackson of NBC News also started her career in 2006 at WBOC. Like Weijia, Hallie is a Senior White House Correspondent. She appears in other high visibility positions as well for NBC.
(Opinion)
Are the odds of making it from a small TV market like the Eastern Shore to a nationwide network similar to winning the lottery? Maybe or maybe not but, to their credit, these two young women have exercised their abilities to the utmost to get there.
