**Terry Moran Joins Substack After ABC News Departure**

**New York, NY –** Veteran journalist Terry Moran, recently terminated from ABC News following a controversial social media post criticizing former President Donald Trump, has announced his move to subscription-based newsletter platform Substack.

Moran, who spent nearly 28 years at ABC News, revealed his plans on Wednesday, June 11, stating, “I’m here, with you, on Substack, this amazing space… I can’t wait to get at it and do the important work that we all have to do in this time of such trouble for our country.” He intends to report, interview, and engage with subscribers on the platform, promising new content soon.

Moran’s departure from ABC News followed a suspension prompted by a now-deleted social media post where he labeled Trump’s deputy chief of staff, Stephen Miller, a “world-class hater.” He further contrasted Miller with Trump, characterizing their motivations for hate.

In a statement to USA TODAY, ABC News explained their decision not to renew Moran’s contract: “We are at the end of our agreement with Terry Moran and based on his recent post – which was a clear violation of ABC News policies – we have made the decision to not renew.” The network emphasized its commitment to objectivity and journalistic standards.

Moran’s move to Substack follows a growing trend of journalists leveraging independent platforms. Former CNN anchor Jim Acosta, who previously made the move to Substack after being fired by CNN, extended a welcome to Moran, saying “Come on in, Terry. The water is warm” echoing similar career paths taken by other high-profile anchors like Don Lemon, Chuck Todd, and Joy Reid.

Moran, a seasoned reporter who covered eight presidential campaign cycles and previously co-anchored Nightline, promises to bring his experience to his new venture.
