As a messenger of television news, an anchorperson must hook the
audience and make them pay attention. In America, there has been a
strong tradition of male news anchors-Edward R. Murrow, Walter
Cronkite, Dan Rather, Peter Jennings. These men, perched at their
'electronic hearths', recounted the details of America's most
significant history to its citizens. Today, women are visible in
every area of television news, even in the hallowed anchor chair,
but their presence has been hard-fought and continues to present
unique challenges. When Oprah Winfrey edorsed the presidential
candidacy of Barack Obama, it reinforced the tremendous power a
broadcaster can wield. Seen and Heard examines the lives, careers,
and communication styles of twelve of the most compelling and
recognizable women of television news, including Christiane
Amanpour, Elizabeth Vargas, Diane Sawyer, Paula Zahn, Judy
Woodruff, and Candy Crowley. From Barbara Walters's vast career
that spans more than half a century to Katie Couric's historic
appointment as the sole anchor of the CBS Evening News, this book
explores the obstacles and opportunities for women in broadcasting.
