Re-Air: Why Our Current News Media is in the Toilet & How the Legendary Connie Chung Changed Media

In honor of Women’s History Month, we’re revisiting one of our favorite episodes from 2024 with legendary journalist, Connie Chung.

Connie Chung Shattered the Chains of her Cultural Traditions and Navigated the News Waters in a Sea of Men.

Now she’s opening up about being sexually abused by her doctor as a teenager, her deep desire to be “one of the guys”, and why she thinks current news media is in the toilet.

She reveals how she conquered the male-dominated realms of journalism and politics, the clever ways she combated sexism and racism in the newsroom, how she managed to keep her emotions in check while delivering impartial news that shaped our world, and her struggles with tying her self worth to her career.

Hear about Connie’s wild stakeouts during the Watergate scandal, the reason she was forced to cover controversial figures like Tonya Harding & OJ Simpson, and her longtime marriage to daytime talk show host Maury Povich!

Connie Chung also breaks down:

- Her parents’ arranged marriage at a very early age & the loss of her older siblings

- How she broke out of the mindset of the traditional Chinese caste system

- Dangers of being seen as a feminist when she began & what feminism mean to her now

- Her first big news break

- Importance of neutrality & credible fact-checking in the news media

- Challenges women in media face today

It’s no wonder why so many Asian-American parents continue to name their kids after THE Connie Chung!
