5 interviews that show Barbara Walters was a master journalist
A chief responsibility for any interviewer is to serve as a conduit between the interviewee and audience. When Walters spoke to the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” crew for ABC’s “10 Most Fascinating People” special in 2011, she preceded the segment by acknowledging the public outcry. “I have never heard more anger and dismay,” she said, “than when we announced that the people you’re about to see were on our list.”

Legendary newswoman Barbara Walters, who died Friday at 93, may have started out on “The Today Show” and blazed a trail as the first woman to co-anchor the evening news.

Barbara Walters, trailblazing TV icon, dies at 93
Bob Iger, the CEO of The Walt Disney Company which is the parent company of ABC News, praised Walters as someone who broke down barriers.
“Barbara was a true legend, a pioneer not just for women in journalism but for journalism itself. She was a one-of-a-kind reporter who landed many of the most important interviews of our time, from heads of state to the biggest celebrities and sports icons. I had the pleasure of calling Barbara a colleague for more than three decades, but more importantly, I was able to call her a dear friend. She will be missed by all of us at The Walt Disney Company, and we send our deepest condolences to her daughter, Jacqueline,” Iger said in a statement Friday.

Barbara Walters obituary
The award-winning journalist Barbara Walters had to break through lots of glass ceilings to become one of the best-known faces in US television news. Walters, who has died aged 93, began her career in the 1960s when the prevailing attitude among television executives was that viewers would not take seriously women delivering news about politics, war or other weighty subjects.
