ABC News has found the following co-anchor for the weekend edition of Good morning America†
On Tuesday, ABC News president Kim Godwin told staff that Janai Norman will join the program effective immediately, along with anchors Whit Johnson and Eva Pilgrim.
“Janai is a versatile and talented journalist, whether she’s sitting at the desk, doing a one-on-one interview with a newsmaker of the day, or reporting breaking news in the field,” Godwin wrote in her memo to the staff. “She puts her heart into her work and makes it a priority to address the major underreported issues of our time, including the maternal mortality crisis faced by black women and the stigma of mental health.”
Norman effectively succeeds Dan Harris, who left the program last summer to focus on his meditation business.
She has worked as a correspondent and anchor for ABC News, covering the Brooklyn subway shooting earlier this year and the protests following the murder of George Floyd. As host and anchor she led PopNews over the weekend, and was the night anchor for world news snow and America this morning† She originally worked at ABC News as an intern in 2011.
