ABC News president James Goldston is stepping down after 17 years with the network. Of those 17 years, he spent seven as president.
In a memo to staff sent Thursday, he said his last day with the company will be March 31.
Goldston cited the 2020 election as a turning point in his career, writing, “It’s a really tough decision. I’ve loved every day of my 17 years at ABC News, but in recent times I’ve always assumed that after this extraordinary election cycle, which we’ve covered at a full sprint for four years, it would be time for a change. After a great deal of reflection over the last few months, I’m ready for a new adventure.”
