Executive Kim Godwin announced in an internal memo sent to staff on Sunday that she will be resigning from her post as president of ABC News, ending her three-year tenure as the first Black woman to lead the network.

“I have decided to retire from broadcast journalism,” Ms. 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.”
