For Americans who grew up with television news 60's-00s....

One more for the 2022 record book of departures...

Barbara Walters, superstar and pioneer in TV news, dies at 93

"I began my career at the ABC News affiliate in Boston before realizing my true passion lay elsewhere and setting out on a different path.
For as tough an interview as she was, Barbara Walters had the uncanny ability to get even the most reticent subject to willingly sit with her.
With so many OGs I grew up with now gone (Peter Jennings, David Brinkley, Hugh Downs, Cokie Roberts, etc.), this one particularly stings." - Drew Geishecker, former ABC colleague
