Book Description
DAUGHTER OF OLD-FASHIONED NEWSPAPER EDITOR BECOMES TOP TV ANCHORWOMAN
While Liz Jordan was growing up in Turtle Bend, Wisconsin, most reporters and editors were men, like her father, who ran the town's only paper. Even on her first job as a reporters for a midwestern daily, Liz was perceived by some as a glamorous career woman. When she moved into the big time of network TV news, she practically became a star.
But Liz Jordon knew the truth -- that a woman struggling to make it in the news business in America in the '70s earned every break she got. That you were foolish to trust your colleagues and crazy to trust you competitors. That you were only as hot as your last story and hotter still if it was an exclusive. That the thrill of working with people you respected on stories that mattered made all the difference in the world.
The story of brilliant and ambitious Liz Jordan, who comes to terms with her profession, her father, with the men in her life, and with life itself -- as she learns that nothing is more important than staying true to yourself.
