Paula Zahn

Paula Zahn is a broadcasting heavyweight by any measure, having anchored at ABC, CBS, Fox News, and CNN across a remarkable career. What intrigues me most is her unexpected origin as a cellist; that musical training hints at a discipline and poise that surely served her under the relentless pressure of live news. Staying at the top through decades of changing networks demands both nerve and intellect. Now producing and hosting true-crime documentaries, she shows an enduring obsession with the craft of telling a story well. From Omaha to the national stage, her persistence earns my sincere respect.
