This Sunday, when Kristen Welker takes over as moderator of Meet the Press, every major Sunday public affairs show will be hosted by a woman.
Long time NBC News anchor, reporter, and host Andrea Mitchell, who has been advocating for women in broadcasting for over 50 years, marks the occasion with an op-ed in The Washington Post.
While it is fitting and proper that we should mark Welker’s accomplishment, the real accomplishment may be that her ascension does not seem out of the ordinary.
