Iconic trailblazer and legendary journalist!! Connie Chung, CONNIE: A Memoir
Listen now
Description
Zibby interviews iconic trailblazer and legendary journalist Connie Chung about CONNIE, a witty, sharply written, scintillating memoir about her storied career as the first Asian woman to break into an overwhelmingly white, male-dominated TV news industry. Connie opens up about her family’s dramatic escape from war-torn China, her upbringing as a first-generation Chinese-American (and the youngest of 10 siblings!), and now, her role as caretaker. Then, she delves into her arduous, half-century career and reflects on how the news industry has changed, lamenting the rise of opinion-based journalism. Finally, she shares what it was like to write this memoir, finally moving beyond just the facts to express her feelings.
