No
successor has been named for the position.
"I have decided to retire from broadcast journalism," Godwin
said in the memo.
"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."
In a separate note seen by Reuters, President of news group and
networks at Disney Entertainment Debra O'Connell said she will
be overseeing ABC News until a successor is named.
The news was first reported by the Wall Street Journal earlier
in the day.
