Timeline

1968

John Frederick Dickerson (born July 6, 1968) is an American journalist and a reporter for CBS News.

His current assignment is anchoring “CBS News Prime Time with John Dickerson” on the news division’s streaming network.

His previous roles include 60 Minutes and CBS News' Election specials.

Most recently, he was co-host of CBS This Morning along with Norah O'Donnell and Gayle King.

1987

Dickerson graduated from Sidwell Friends School in 1987.

During high school he had an internship in the office of John Warner, then a U.S. Senator from Virginia.

He holds a degree in English with distinction from the University of Virginia.

2003

Dickerson co-wrote a July 17, 2003, Time article, "A War on Wilson?", which attributed the leak of Valerie Plame's CIA identity to senior Bush administration officials.

2004

Dickerson (during April 13, 2004 press conference): "In the last campaign, you were asked a question about the biggest mistake you'd made in your life, and you used to like to joke that it was trading Sammy Sosa. You've looked back before 9/11 for what mistakes might have been made. After 9/11, what would your biggest mistake be, would you say, and what lessons have you learned from it?"

2006

On Her Trail: My Mother, Nancy Dickerson, TV News' First Woman Star, Dickerson's book about his relationship with his late mother Nancy Dickerson Whitehead, a pioneering television newswoman, was published by Simon & Schuster in 2006.

In a Washington Post review, staff writer Elsa Walsh called the book "riveting".

Before joining Slate, Dickerson covered politics at Time magazine for 12 years, serving the last four years as its White House correspondent.

Writing for Slate in February 2006 ("Where's My Subpoena?"), Dickerson speculated about why Patrick Fitzgerald never called him as a grand jury witness for his "bit role" in the drama.

2007

He appeared each Wednesday on The Al Franken Show on Air America Radio, until the show ended in 2007, and was also a frequent guest on NPR's Day to Day.

He appears on PBS's Washington Week and the Slate Political Gabfest, a weekly podcast with David Plotz and Emily Bazelon.

Dickerson is also the host of Whistlestop, a Slate podcast about presidential history.

On January 29, 2007, during the trial of Scooter Libby, former White House spokesman Ari Fleischer, testifying under an immunity agreement, named Dickerson as one of two reporters (the other was David Gregory of NBC) to whom he revealed that Wilson's wife worked at the CIA on July 11, 2003, during a Presidential visit to Niger, three days before her name was published by columnist Robert Novak.

Another reporter, Tamara Lipper of Newsweek, reportedly walked away before he spoke of Plame.

Dickerson has disputed Fleischer's account, claiming that Fleischer urged him to look into who sent Wilson but that he did not mention Plame's name or CIA identity.

In a second trial dispatch on the matter, Dickerson revealed a previously undisclosed excerpt from his email that July afternoon which he said corroborated his account: "On background WH officials were dissing Wilson. They suggested he was sent on his mission by a low-level person at the agency."

Neither Lipper nor Gregory has commented publicly about what Fleischer told them.

On January 31, 2007, former Time reporter Matthew Cooper testified that Dickerson's Africa sources contributed information to the article "A War on Wilson?"

In addition to Ari Fleischer, Dickerson also spoke to White House Communications Director Dan Bartlett while in Africa.

The Washington Post once wrote about his style of asking questions: "The master of the game is John Dickerson of Time magazine, who has knocked Bush off script so many times that his colleagues have coined a term for cleverly worded, seemingly harmless, but incisive questions: 'Dickersonian.

Dickerson hosted Face the Nation three times in 2009 and was appointed Political Director of CBS News in November 2011.

He has three sisters and one brother.

He grew up in McLean, Virginia, at Merrywood, a Georgian-style mansion high on a leafy bluff overlooking the Potomac River.

On May 10, 2019, CBS News President Susan Zirinsky said that Dickerson would fill in for a week (week of May 13, 2019) on the CBS Evening News after then-anchor Jeff Glor stepped down.
