“#Kim Godwin named president of ABC News<\/a><\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

Kim Godwin, a longtime producer and executive at CBS News, has grabbed the top job at ABC News. <\/p>\n

The history-making hire, which leaked out last week, sets up Godwin as the first black woman to lead a broadcast news division. The exec, who was second in command as executive vice president of CBS\u2019s news division, succeeds James Goldston, who stepped down<\/a> as president of ABC News earlier this year. <\/p>\n

Godwin will start her new gig at the Disney-owned network in May and report to Peter Rice, the chairman of Disney general<\/a> entertainment content.<\/p>\n

\u201cThroughout Kim\u2019s career in global news organizations and local newsrooms, she has distinguished herself as a fierce advocate for excellence, collaboration, inclusion and the vital role of accurate and transparent news reporting,\u201d Rice said. <\/p>\n

In the new role, Godwin will not only oversee the network\u2019s biggest shows from \u201cGood Morning America\u201d with George Stephanopoulos and \u201cThe View\u201d with Whoopi Goldberg, but she will also be charged with fixing a troubled culture. <\/p>\n

As reported by The Post, ABC News has been plagued by poor communication, a lack of diversity, feelings of distrust among staffers and oversized personalities running roughshod over the place under Goldston\u2019s reign. <\/p>\n

While Godwin\u2019s addition to ABC marks a seismic change in the upper echelon of broadcasting, her departure also leaves big question marks at CBS. On Tuesday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Godwin\u2019s boss, CBS News president Susan Zirinsky, would soon be stepping down from her perch. Now CBS has two big roles to fill.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have immense respect and admiration for ABC News,\u201d Godwin said in a statement Wednesday. \u201cAs the most trusted brand in news, they are to be commended for the extraordinary work and dedication of the journalists, producers, executives and their teams across the organization. I am honored to take on this stewardship and excited for what we will achieve together.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
