{"product_id":"connie-connie-chung-9798874831936","title":"Connie: A Memoir","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn a sharp, witty, and definitive memoir, iconic trailblazer and legendary journalist Connie Chung delves into her storied career as the first Asian woman to break into an overwhelmingly white, male-dominated television news industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConnie Chung is a pioneer. In 1969 at the age of twenty-three, this once-shy daughter of Chinese parents took her first job at a local TV station in her hometown of Washington, DC, and soon thereafter began working at CBS news as a correspondent. Profoundly influenced by her family's cultural traditions, yet growing up completely Americanized in the United States, Chung describes her career as an Asian woman in a white male-centered world. Overt sexism was a way of life, but Chung was tenacious in her pursuit of stories--battling rival reporters to secure scoops that ranged from interviewing Magic Johnson to covering the Watergate scandal--and quickly became a household name. She made history when she achieved her dream of being the first woman to co-anchor the CBS Evening News and the first Asian to anchor any news program in the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChung pulls no punches as she provides a behind-the-scenes tour of her singular life. From showdowns with powerful men in and out of the newsroom to the stories behind some of her career-defining reporting and the unwavering support of her husband, Maury Povich, nothing is off-limits--good, bad, or ugly. So be sure to tune in for an irreverent and inspiring exclusive: this is CONNIE like you've never seen her before.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Connie Chung\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798874831936\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Blackstone Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/17\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e MP3 CD","brand":"Connie Chung","offers":[{"title":"MP3 CD","offer_id":46136271765759,"sku":"9798874831936","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_61013329-7116-4967-bafe-81af4327f368.jpg?v=1726416187","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/connie-connie-chung-9798874831936","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
