Kim Godwin Resigns as ABC News President After Three Years, No Successor Named
May 6, 2024, 12:50 AM
Kim Godwin, the president of ABC News, has announced her resignation, effective Sunday night, after a tumultuous three-year run. Her departure follows a period of corporate restructuring at ABC News that significantly reduced her managerial autonomy, leading to increasing dissatisfaction and internal backlash. Godwin, who became the first black woman to lead a major network news division in 2021, faced a challenging tenure marked by management disputes. She has decided to retire from broadcast journalism after considerable reflection, leaving the network without a named successor. In the interim, Debra O'Connell will oversee ABC News.
