Connie Chung: Breaking Barriers in Broadcast News

Connie Chung has had a historic career in several respects – she became the

first woman to be a co-host CBS Evening News and the first Asian American to anchor a newscast in America. Her long list of accomplishments awes countless Americans, leaving many wondering: How could she do it? In her new memoir, “Connie,” she gives us the answer.

Connie talks about what it was like for her to rise in a white male-dominated industry, how she was able to land legendary interviews with people like Magic Johnson and Gary Condit, and how she currently feels about the complex landscape of journalism in America today.
