Slavin announced that Jon Dube, VP of ABCNews.com, decided to take one of the buyouts that ABC News offered employees earlier in the year, and will be leaving ABC in July.

As a result, the company has changed its senior leadership to reflect the new structure.

Andrew Morse has been named executive producer of integration and innovation, where he will be charged with working with broadcast producers to develop integration ideas across the television and digital products. Morse was most recently executive prodcuer of “Good Morning America Weekend,” a position which was eliminated when ABC News restructured in April.

Slavin also noted two promotions in the Disney/ABC Digital Media group, led by Albert Cheng. Those promotions are in the email Slavin sent to staffers earlier today, which is after the jump.
