Paula Faris is taking on a new assignment at ABC News and will be leaving her roles as weekend co-anchor of Good Morning America and co-host on The View.
“She’s expanding her reporting portfolio to cover the most consequential stories of the day, help lead the charge on breaking news and focus on key bookings,” network president James Goldston said Wednesday in a memo. “She’ll continue to be an important part of the GMA family and appear across all of ABC News, and she’s gearing up for the launch of a podcast on faith to explore what unites people of all backgrounds even in these divisive times.”
On Twitter, Faris said she’s “excited/grateful for the opportunity to cover big stories & talk to the people at the center of them.” Her new role is set to begin this fall.
Faris had co-anchored GMA on the weekends for four seasons and had spent three seasons on The View.
“She has a keen understanding of stories that resonate with our audience, and we’re looking forward to even more great work ahead,” Goldston said of Faris.
