Almin Karamehmedovic is president of ABC News, overseeing the
day-to-day operations of the nation’s No. 1 news network. He leads
the teams responsible for the many iconic, award-winning shows across
the division including “World News Tonight with David Muir,”
“Good Morning America,” “The View,” “20/20,”
“Nightline,” “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” and
“GMA3,” as well as ABC News Live, ABC News Studios, ABC Audio, ABC
Digital and special events coverage.

Prior to be named president of ABC News, Karamehmedovic oversaw the
production and all daily operations of “World News Tonight with
David Muir,” the most-watched newscast in America across broadcast
and cable, and often, the No. 1 program on all of television. In
January 2022, News Content Development, including short- and long-form
projects on streaming and broadcast, was added to his purview as his
role expanded from executive producer to senior executive producer.

Under Karamehmedovic’s leadership, “World News Tonight with David
Muir” has ranked as the No. 1 evening newscast in Total Viewers for
eight straight years, season to date. In addition, the program ranks
No. 1 in Adults 25-54 and Adults 18-49 for the fifth consecutive
season. As senior executive producer, Karamehmedovic oversaw several
of Muir’s exclusive, headline-making interviews with world leaders,
including Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President Joe
Biden, President-elect Donald Trump, former President Barack Obama, as
well as the historic town hall with Pope Francis inside the Vatican.

Prior to “World News Tonight with David Muir,” Karamehmedovic was
executive producer of “Nightline,” ABC News’ late-night flagship
newsmagazine. He also executive produced “Nightline” in primetime
for two consecutive seasons as well as numerous other ABC primetime
hours, “20/20” specials and ongoing breaking news special reports.

Karamehmedovic first joined ABC News as a freelance video editor based
in London in 1998. Three years later, he was one of the first
journalists to gain access to Tora Bora, Afghanistan, where Osama bin
Laden was hiding. In 2003, he embedded with the U.S. Army during the
invasion of Iraq; and in 2005, he was one of the first journalists to
travel to Darfur/Sudan to report on the genocide. The following year
he covered the war in Southern Lebanon and was one of the first to
arrive in Haiti following the devastating earthquake in 2010. More
recently, Karamehmedovic returned to Al Anbar in Iraq to document the
fight against ISIS and traveled to the frontlines of Afghanistan, to
Auschwitz with survivors of the Holocaust 75 years later, to Normandy
with America’s heroes, and to Madagascar to report on the children
of climate change.

After he moved to New York and joined “Nightline” in 2008,
Karamehmedovic traveled the world producing notable pieces for the
program, including living among the Indigenous people of the Enawene
Nawe tribe in the remote and uncivilized Amazon; detailing the ongoing
Mexican drug wars; and exposing American pedophiles permitted to leave
the United States and abuse children in Cambodia.

Karamehmedovic was part of the first wave of producers trained to
shoot, produce, edit and broadcast from anywhere in the world. He has
used those abilities to great effect at ABC News, infusing many
reports with an intimacy and immediacy that brings viewers closer to
the heart of a story. He has traveled to more than 100 countries and
is the recipient of the prestigious DuPont Award, as well as 16
Emmys®, nine Edward R. Murrow Awards, two Christopher Awards and a
Peabody Award.

Karamehmedovic graduated from the University of Greenwich in London.
