Susan Zirinsky has headed up CBS News as president since 2019. Prior to joining CBS in 2007, Godwin held a host of positions at local TV stations. Zirinsky, the longtime 48 Hours executive producer before becoming division president, was the model for the hard-charging news producer portrayed by Holly Hunter in the 1987 movie, Broadcast News. Spencer Platt/Getty ImagesAt CBS, Godwin had editorial oversight of the networks newsgathering operation, including the national desks, foreign desks and bureaus. I have immense respect and admiration for ABC News.
