Editing Inside Edition (section)

====Deborah Norville era (1995-2025)====
In July 1994, O'Reilly began expressing a desire to leave ''Inside Edition''. In March 1995, a little over six years after the show premiered, O'Reilly would leave the program.<ref>Kitman, ''The Man Who Would Not Shut Up'', p. 148.</ref> [[Deborah Norville]], who at the time was a weekend anchor for [[CBS News]] and who had previously been known for her brief stint as co-anchor of ''[[Today (American TV program)|Today]]'' on NBC, was chosen to take over.

By the late 1990s, as its similarly formatted syndicated competitors had already begun waning in the ratings, the program tweaked its format in an effort to retain viewers. While its focus continued to revolve partly around entertainment and crime stories, it also began phasing in additional hard news content (consisting of select major headlines of given warranty and other notable general news and legal-related stories) as well as lifestyle and [[human-interest story]] features. In the late 2000s, as video sharing websites such as [[YouTube]] came into prominence, ''Inside Edition'' began incorporating [[viral video]]s in most broadcasts, either those in relating to a news story covered in that day's edition or, more commonly, humorous or amazing videos (including clever marriage proposals, people and animals displaying interesting talents or stunts, active military personnel returning home from duty surprising family members, and [[practical joke]]s); videos of the latter type are typically included in the "D" block which closes each broadcast. 

In April 2025, Norville announced she would depart from her role as anchor after 30 years at the end of the season.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Weprin |first=Alex |date=2025-04-02 |title=Deborah Norville to Exit ‘Inside Edition’ After 30 Years |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/deborah-norville-exit-inside-edition-cbs-1236179745/ |access-date=2025-04-02 |website=The Hollywood Reporter |language=en-US}}</ref> Deborah Norville's final day as anchor of ''Inside Edition'' was on May 21, 2025.<ref>{{cite news |last=Robledo, Stahl|first=Anthony, Jay|date=May 21, 2025|title=Deborah Norville exits 'Inside Edition' after 30 years|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/tv/2025/05/21/deborah-norville-inside-edition/83778792007/|work=USA Today|location= |publisher= |access-date=May 21, 2025}}</ref>

{{quote|Finally today, while you have invited me into your homes, these 115+ men and women have made it possible. They may work behind the scenes, but their talent and that of our colleagues in [[Los Angeles]] is what you see on screen every day. I am literally swimming in gratitude. Since I announced my departure last month, I have been floored by the response of my peers and by you our viewers. And I've stayed this long because you welcomed me and the stories that we tell. I know ''Inside's'' been a companion to many of you. You've told me you'll miss our daily visits. I'm going to miss them too. In my very first job in television, a woman I worked with told me I didn't belong there. I have spent the last 47 years trying to prove her wrong. And so my thought is this:  Believe in yourself when it seems no one else does, because you may be amazed where that confidence will take you. Thank you all, thank you so much. That's ''Inside Edition'', bye bye.<ref>{{YouTube|title=Deborah Norville Shares Final Thoughts on Inside Edition|id=rpjMyh4nZVc}}</ref>|Deborah Norville's final comments on her last day as anchor of ''Inside Edition'' on May 21, 2025}}
