Errol Barnett is an award-winning journalist who anchors "CBS Morning News," streaming weekdays at 7 a.m. ET on CBS News 24/7 and reports for all CBS News platforms and programs. Barnett also fills in as a co-host on "CBS Mornings," "CBS Saturday Morning" and the "CBS Weekend News."
Barnett has anchored dozens of CBS News Special Reports, including the breaking news of a ceasefire and hostage exchange deal reached between Israel and Hamas. From live coverage of the Supreme Court ruling ending Roe v. Wade and the death of Queen Elizabeth II to exchanges with Presidents Joe Biden, Donald Trump and the U.S. Secret Service, Barnett regularly presses for answers on the biggest issues and stories of the moment.
Barnett has experience covering global events informed by a reporting career spanning more than two decades and five continents. Since first joining CBS in 2016, he also covered some of the most important beats from the network's Washington, D.C. bureau. Assigned to the White House on weekends, he covered President Barack Obama during his final overseas trip and questioned President Donald Trump several times on the South Lawn and aboard Air Force One. In the thick of the 2020 presidential campaign, Barnett's interview with then-candidate and Vice President Joe Biden regarding cognition was widely cited.
More recently as a transportation correspondent, Barnett regularly interviewed Secretary Pete Buttigieg and traveled to transit hubs across the country revealing the coronavirus pandemic's upheaval of the airline industry and supply chains.
Intrepid field reporting in challenging conditions is evident through Barnett's coverage of Hurricane Dorian in 2019. He was the only network journalist to fly with Hurricane Hunters through the Category 5 storm as it stalled over the Bahamas. Revealing the impact of climate change, he and his team reported extensively from Grand Bahama Island.
Prior to joining CBS News, Barnett anchored "CNN Newsroom" from Atlanta and a midday news hour from Abu Dhabi, UAE, during CNN's Peabody Award-winning coverage of the Arab Spring.
Barnett began his journalism career at age 18 after being hired in Los Angeles as Channel One News' youngest anchor and reporter. Barnett covered the 9/11 terrorist attacks, then-Senator Barack Obama's first national speech, interviewed Congressman John Lewis and detailed the New England heroin epidemic.
Barnett was part of "CBS Mornings"' 2022 Emmy win and was recognized with a "Salute to Excellence Award" from the National Association of Black Journalists for his role as host of CNN's "Inside Africa" while he was based in Johannesburg, South Africa. In the span of two years, Barnett hosted the feature magazine from 22 countries including Madagascar, Tunisia, Namibia and Senegal.
Barnett earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science with a focus on international relations at the University of California, Los Angeles. Born and raised in England, Barnett is a member of Investigative Reporters and Editors, SAG/AFTRA, the Society of Professional Journalists and the National Association of Black Journalists. He lives in New York with his wife and dog.
