New York CNN —ABC News President Kim Godwin is skating on thinner and thinner ice.
OConnell, according to people familiar with the matter, has been astonished by Godwin’s management — or lack thereof — at the network.
“She has to take swift moves,” a person familiar with the inner workings of ABC News candidly told me of OConnell.
Those lieutenants include Stacia Deshishku, executive editor and senior vice president; Derek Medina, executive vice president; and Jose Andino, vice president of the office of the president and process management.
As OConnell’s not-so-subtle evaluation has played out at ABC News, Godwin has privately voiced displeasure about being layered away from Iger and bemoaned Disney’s micromanagement, CNN was told.
