Norah O'Donnell will replace Erica Hill as one of the co-hosts of CBS This Morning, CBS announced Thursday.
O'Donnell, who currently serves as CBS News' Chief White House Correspondent, will join co-hosts Charlie Rose and Gayle King this fall.

"Norah is an accomplished reporter with all the skills for the job," CBS News Chairman Jeff Fager said in a statement. "She's a hard worker who knows her story and, as she has shown time after time at the White House, she can think on her feet on live television."
