Connie Chung: Breaking Barriers In Broadcast News

Connie Chung has made a historic career for herself in more ways than one — becoming the

first woman to co-anchor the CBS Evening News and the first Asian American to anchor any news program in America. Her long list of achievements leaves countless Americans in awe, with many wondering: how was she able to do it? In her new memoir 'Connie,' she gives us the answer.

Connie discusses what it was like for her to rise in an industry dominated by white men, how she was able to get iconic interviews with people like Magic Johnson and Gary Condit, and how she currently feels about the complex landscape of journalism in America today.
