1069 Barbara Walters (interviewed by Eric Deggans, 2011) - a podcast by Bob Andelman

Guest Interview by Eric Deggans, 2011: Sometimes, I like causing trouble. So whenever people ask me who is the most influential TV journalist of the modern age, I never say Edward R. Murrow or Walter Cronkite. I always say Barbara Walters. That's because she pioneered the mixture of emotion and news, serious and celebrity, personal and political that drives every modern TV news program, from the today show and 20/20 to Nancy Grace, Access Hollywood and beyond.
