How Do You Cope When The Person You Trust The Most isn't There Anymore

Norah O'Donnell is leaving CBS Evening News and I am really having a hard time with it.  Norah has been there for everything monumental over the last few years.  And I trust her.  I like her familiar face, I like her calm voice.  Media is changing so much and its faces are too.  Hota Kotb is also leaving her place CBS although I miss her a lot less.  Hota and I were on the air at basically the same time, so I didn't get my news from her. So that one doesnt sting as bad. It's a tough business and only getting tougher as our options for consuming news are only growing. You do begin to form those relationships with news people.  With good news people anyway.  That's the goal, to feel safe and connected and so you'll tune into that particular station or another and personality is a major part of it for me.  If I don't like the news presenter I am not sticking around.  Same goes for radio too.  It's my time and I'm not giving it to someone I don't dig.  But Norah, I dig Norah! I will miss getting her nightly news casts, but as long as they replace her slot with Colin Jost and he only delivers like the SNL Weekend Update.  I would definitely tune into that.  I wish Norah O'Donnell well and I hope she pops up somewhere else.  *except FOX. no. i am not doing that.
