ABC News President David Westin will leave the network's top news job at end of the year, he told colleagues Monday night in an email.
Westin, who has been on the job for 13 years, is leaving after the division eliminated 300 positions in an attempt to adapt to the changing news business. He is the second top executive to leave the network in recent months. In late July, Steve McPherson, ABC's top entertainment boss, was replaced. Westin, 58, has installed new top anchors at "World News," "Good Morning America" and "This Week" in the past year.
