what happened to diane sawyer

Diane Sawyer stepped down from her anchor chair at ABC World News in September 2014. She remained with ABC News to focus on investigative specials and newsmaker interviews. Sawyer left Good Morning America in 2009 to serve as anchor of ABCs World News, a post she held until August 2014, when she stepped down. According to her farewell speech, she was ready to move away from the coveted role and eager to do more exciting field work. Sawyer has continued to work on investigative journalism and has done interviews with newsmakers. She reunited with almost 40 families who had lost beloved patriarchs in the devastating September 11th attacks and whose lives the 2020 team continued to monitor closely in the wake of their initial reporting. Sawyers husband, Mike Nichols, passed away in 2014.
