In the beginning, my mother humored me when I told her I wanted to be a reporter.
The idea of stardom was difficult to grasp. It was like being schizophrenic; there was her, the woman on television, and the real me.
Women were seldom given quality assignments or adequate air time.
I hadn't realized until I covered the police beat just how seedy crime is.
Men still control the news, both on and off camera.
Women may not have it easy, but we are given a fairer chance to reach for the top.
