Why is Christiane Amanpour leaving CNN after 40 years?

The veteran journalist is stepping down from CNN after four decades there. It sounds like there's a transition happening at the network with someone new taking over. If you follow broadcast journalism or are interested in what's happening at major news networks, this is a pretty significant move from one of the most recognizable faces in news.

Amanpour announced she was stepping back from her daily CNN show to focus on her international affairs program and other projects, so it's less of a sudden departure and more of a shift in how she's spending her time. The move does represent a changing of the guard at CNN though, with the network adjusting its lineup. Are you asking mainly about her reasons, or are you curious about who's replacing her on the daily show? That context would help me give you more relevant details about what this means for the network's direction.
