Ep. 5: Interview with Beverly White
From the 1994 Northridge earthquake and the civil unrest following George Floyd's murder to the COVID-19 pandemic, Beverly White has earned a reputation as one of journalism's most fearless and respected voices. Along the way, she has covered the deaths of icons Michael Jackson and Prince, and interviewed extraordinary leaders including Nelson Mandela, Maya Angelou, and Desmond Tutu.
A veteran colleague once called her a "kick-ass reporter"—a description that only scratches the surface.
Her extraordinary career has been recognized with some of journalism's highest honors, including a Peabody Award and the Chuck Stone Lifetime Achievement Award. Yet perhaps her greatest legacy is her unwavering commitment to mentoring and inspiring the next generation of journalists.
Join us for a fascinating conversation with Beverly White as she shares the stories behind the headlines, the challenges she overcame, and the lessons she's learned covering history as it unfolded.
