Barbara Walters, broadcast news pioneer, dies at the age of 93

Barbara Walters broke barriers and inspired a generation, as the first female co-host of a morning and evening newscast.

Walters, who died at 93, ABC News announced Friday, began her onscreen TV career in 1961 on "The Today Show" as a glorified morning model called, without a trace of irony, "The Today Girl." She ended it more than 50 years later as one of television’s most influential and powerful people, male or female.

It wasn’t an easy road; there were bumps and detours aplenty. But each step she took made that road smoother for the women who followed.

You don’t make it to the end of that kind of trail without benefit of sizable amounts of ambition, tenacity, drive and competitive fire – this is, after all, the woman who practically invented the “big get” interview. Nor do you make it without creating a few rivals, friendly and decidedly otherwise, along the way.

  1. *Making money is an action.keeping money is a behaviour, but “Growing money is wisdom” I figured this out a week ago😁.*

    1. After I got upto 300K trading with Mr Gergely korpos.I bought a new House and I’m now able to send my kids to a better school in the states thanks to Mr Gergely Korpos. When someone is straight forward with what he or she is doing people will always speak up for them.

    2. The crypto market is highly profitable with an expert broker just like Mr Gergely . I got recommended to him and since then my financial life has been a success

    3. Just withdrew my profits a week ago, it was so shocking when I withdrew $32,450 knowing I invested $3,000. I wish I could reinvest but, too much bills 😩

    4. Long term investment is the best now. I invested $6,500 in March last year with Mr Gergely and I top up my trade with $500 every week. Now I’m having over $147,000 on my dashboard. Toping up your trade is really important.

    5. Love y’all and the information given always learning and growing is the only way we can own our skills and build ourselves. Most insteresting thing is that the rich gets Richer because the poor seems everything the other way round especially investment, *BITCOIN* this has been life changing to represents legion of adventures and entrepreneur most especially risk taking, investor’s keep winning

  2. True journalism with very special talent connecting with people and being respectful of different views … need more of these special talent people. Her actions as person and as journalism she believes freedom of speech no covers ups..We the people will miss you and journalism like you..very respectful lady..

  3. 🛑 Stop having kids folks!! There’s no reason to create a child that’s for the child’s sake. For the potential child, birth doesn’t solve any problem that it doesn’t first create. All positives in life such as happiness, good food, and love are based on fulfilling needs, which get created by birth. Besides, it’s morally wrong to inflict serious, preventable harms upon our unborn children without their consent…
