OTTAWA—A man of 50, Kevin Newman has ideas of a 20-something.

In two weeks Newman is stepping down as anchor and executive editor of Global National, Global Television’s flagship national newscast. 

Newman, who has about 30 years in the broadcast news business, says he wants to take some time off for “creative renewal.”  He talks regularly about how the Internet is changing media, about the need for creativity and taking risks.
