A few months ago, I shared that I really enjoyed reading Connie, A Memoir (2024) by TV news icon Connie Chung. Rather than attempt to track her  down for an interview (difficult, but not impossible), I offer my  analysis of Chung’s legacy and impact. My research for a 2017 podcast  episode, The Women Who Reported Watergate, has stayed with me a long time, particularly the fact that Lesley Stahl  and Connie Chung (who still hang out together occasionally), were  essentially Affirmative Action hires into TV news rooms. They, along  with Barbara Walters (who Chung dishes about in her memoir), stepped  into the complex and fast-moving Watergate scandal coverage, and  subsequently changed how we saw the news. Heavily influenced by TV news  growing up, I really enjoyed creating both episodes.
