Pauline Frederick Reporting is the biography of the life and career
of the first woman to become a network news correspondent. After no
less an authority than Edward R. Murrow told her there was no place
for her in broadcasting, Pauline Frederick (1908-90) cracked the
good old boys' club through determination and years of hard work,
eventually becoming a trusted voice to millions of television
viewers. In Frederick's nearly fifty years as a journalist, she
interviewed a young Fidel Castro, covered the Nuremberg trials,
interpreted diplomatic actions at the United Nations, and was the
first woman to moderate a presidential debate. The life of this
pivotal figure in American journalism provides an inside
perspective on the growth and political maneuverings of television
networks as well as Frederick's relationships with iconic NBC
broadcast figures David Brinkley, Chet Huntley, and others.
Although Frederick repeatedly insisted that she would trade her
career, glamorous as it was, to have a family, a series of romances
ended in heartache when she did indeed choose her work over love.
At the age of sixty-one, however, she married and attained the
family life she had always wanted. Her story is one for all modern
women striving to balance career and family.
