ABC News President Kim Godwin Steps Down, Retires Amid Management Struggles
May 6, 2024, 12:25 AM
Kim Godwin, the president of ABC News, stepped down Sunday night and announced her retirement from broadcast journalism following a period of internal dissatisfaction and management challenges. Her departure comes months after a corporate restructuring at Disney, which significantly reduced her managerial autonomy. This restructuring has led to growing tensions within the network, culminating in her decision to step down. Godwin, who was appointed in 2021, was the first black woman to lead a major network news division. Her tenure was marked by efforts to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), but also faced criticism and reported mismanagement issues.
