ABC News’ Charles Gibson announced yesterday he will retire as anchor from World News at the end of this year. Additionally he will retire from full-time work at ABC News. Beginning in January 2010, Good Morning America’s Diane Sawyer will assume the anchor duties at World News. In an email to World News staff announcing his decision Gibson said: “It has not been an easy decision to make. This has been my professional home for almost 35 years. And I love this news department, and all who work in it, to the depths of my soul.” Gibson has anchored World News since May 2006 following the death of anchor Peter Jennings and the injury in Iraq of co-anchor Bob Woodruff.
