Women in journalism are mourning the death of pioneering TV broadcaster Barbara Walters, who died Friday at 93 years old after a career spent breaking barriers in a male-dominated industry. <\/p>\n
Many women journalists praised Walters \u2014 who started her career at NBC’s “TODAY” show in 1961, becoming the only female producer and first female co-host of the show before later becoming the first female anchor of a network news program at ABC \u2014 for breaking the glass ceiling for women in broadcast journalism and helping others succeed along the way. <\/p>\n
“Barbara was a trailblazer, a singular force who opened the door for every woman in television news,” ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer said in a statement<\/a>. <\/p>\n “Sadness. Gratitude. And a salute from all of us who know what we owe her,” added Sawyer, who previously anchored ABC’s “Good Morning America” \u200b\u200band “World News Tonight” over the course of her own decades-long career. Sawyer and Walters also co-hosted “20\/20” together on Sundays from 1998 – 2000. <\/p>\n
