ABC News president Kim Godwin stepped down from her position Sunday night following recent claims of ongoing internal backlash and frustration at the network.
After viral reports over tension within the network, ABC News president Kim Godwin will be stepping down. In an email sent out to staff on Sunday night, Godwin announced that she would be retiring from her position after being appointed in 2021. 'I have decided to retire from broadcast journalism,' Godwin said in the email obtained by Fox News Digital.
Godwin has also privately complained of being micromanaged by OConnell, according to Puck News. The outlet reported that in conversations with several current ABC News employees, that 'representation' and the fact that Godwin is the first Black woman to head a broadcast news division, had become the obvious, underlying problem in any discussions about the future of the company, and her possible firing.
