About a year ago CBS News had an all women team covering foreign affairs, that included Yale(New Haven) graduate Clarissa Ward, Elizabeth Palmer and Holly Williams. That team has been broken up by Ward’s departure for CNN, but a new all women team has been dominating campaign coverage this season at NBC.
Former WFSB reporter Hallie Jackson is part of the group as we have noted before(photo).
But perhaps the proudest member of that team is Andrea Mitchell(New Rochelle, NY), the long time NBC News reporter/anchor/host. Mitchell has been with NBC since the 1970’s and has talked and written often about the challenges of being a woman in the news business in general and TV specifically. In the photo above she can look to her right and left and claim at least partial credit for paving the way.
