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.
She continued, „Anyone who’s passionate about what we do knows there’s no other business like it, so this was not an easy or quick decision. But after considerable reflection, I’m certain it’s the right one for me as I look to the future and prioritize what’s most important for me and my family.“
Godwin also praised the network for hiring her as the first Black woman to head a national news network.
„I understood and appreciated the profound significance of being the first Black woman to lead a national broadcast news network when I accepted the role as president of ABC News a little over three years ago.
