Kim Godwin makes history as she is named president

Kim Godwin makes history as she is named president of ABC News, the first Black woman to head a broadcast TV news division in the US.

Godwin (@newsmom8), whose appointment was made official Wednesday by ABC parent Walt Disney Co., comes from CBS. After serving multiple roles in local TV news, Godwin joined CBS News in 2007, where she recently was executive vice president and was known for championing diversity.

“Throughout Kim’s 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,” said Peter Rice, chairman of Disney General Entertainment Content, to whom she will report.

Samia Suluhu Hassan, who has been vice president since 2015, became Tanzania’s first woman president on Friday.

She is also the country’s first president born in Zanzibar, the archipelago that forms part of the union of the Republic of Tanzania.

“This is a time to bury our differences, and stand united as a country. This is not a time for finger pointing, but it’s a time to hold hands and move forward together,” she said after she was sworn in.
