Christiane Amanpour, a veteran cable news international correspondent, is leaving CNN after more than 25 years to join ABC News as host of its Sunday public affairs show, "This Week."

CNN made the announcement Thursday, saying Amanpour had covered "defining news events of our time" in Iraq, Israel, Pakistan, Somalia, Rwanda and the Balkans.

For the past year, she has hosted a daily interview show on the cable network. Amanpour is 52 and was born in London.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
