Connie Chung
In Conversation with Maury Povich
A trailblazing journalist for NBC, CBS, and ABC, Connie Chung shattered glass ceilings, paving the way for many women and Asians alike. In 1969, at the age of 23, the once-shy daughter of Chinese parents took her first job at a local TV station in her hometown of DC and soon thereafter began working at CBS News as a correspondent.
Chung was tenacious in her pursuit of stories – battling rival reporters to get scoops that ranged from interviewing Magic Johnson to covering the Watergate scandal – and quickly became a household name. She made history when she became the first woman to co-anchor “CBS Evening News” and the first Asian to anchor any news program in the country. An entire generation of Asian women have been named after her.
In Connie: A Memoir, Chung pulls no punches as she shares a behind-the-scenes tour of her life and career, from showdowns with powerful men in and out of the newsroom where overt sexism was a way of life to the stories behind some of her career-defining reporting. Chung will be in conversation with her husband Maury Povich, a former news reporter and anchor who hosted the talk show “Maury” for over thirty years. Povich is a recipient of the Daytime Emmys Lifetime Achievement Honor.
