Yamiche Alcindor said she intends to retire as a presenter Washington weekPBS’ long-running public affairs program.
“After careful consideration and some meaningful discussions, I have decided to step down from the moderator role Washington week. This move will allow me to focus full-time on my commitments to NBC News and the completion of my upcoming memoir.
Alcindor has been hosting the show since 2021 when she succeeded Robert Costa. She also joined NBC News that year, having previously worked as a White House correspondent for PBS NewsHour.
The Friday evening program features a roundtable discussion with journalists discussing the week’s events. It is produced by NewsHour Productions of WETA-TV in Washington.
WETA President and CEO Sharon Rockefeller wrote in a memo to employees, “We are very grateful to Yamiche for her dedication to the highest standards of journalism throughout her years in public media.”
Alcindor’s last day as moderator is February 24.
Rockefeller said that as they search for the next presenter, “we will draw from the strong list of journalists PBS News Hour and in the Washington Press Corps to continue this good work.”
