Abstract

In terms of broadcast journalism, the Commonwealth of Virginia is quite noteworthy. Virginia produced the first African American and the first woman to rise to the highest levels of network broadcast journalism in the United States. Although Virginia is the birthplace of many journalists, few broadcasters hold the distinction of standing out as a great broadcast journalist on the national level. Two of these journalists are unique in Virginia and U.S. history. Each of them served as a trailblazer and helped to fracture the glass ceiling. They are Maxie “Max” Robinson and Katherine “Katie” Couric.
