Kim Godwin, the first Black woman to run a broadcast TV news division, is leaving ABC News after three years.
The Walt Disney Co.-owned network announced Godwin's departure Sunday. Godwin joined ABC in May 2021 from CBS News, where she was an executive vice president and oversaw its diversity efforts.
Here's part of Goodwin's statement about her retirement from broadcast news:
"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. It's both a privilege and a debt to those who chipped away before me to lead a team whose brand is synonymous with trust, integrity and a dogged determination to be the best in the business."
Godwin's sudden exit came after reports that Debra OConnell, the Disney veteran hired in February to oversee ABC News, was conducting a review of Goodwin's performance and had voiced dissatisfaction in private conversations with the network's state of affairs.
