Pauline Frederick was a broadcasting pioneer. She was the first woman to be heard as a reporter for network radio in the late 1940’s as she covered the Nuremburg trials of Nazi war criminals. She was the first woman reporter to appear on network television covering the 1952 political conventions and her career in broadcasting spanned over three decades. She covered the founding of the United Nations, Fidel Castro’s first trip to the United States, the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis among other major events. In addition to being a network radio and television reporter from the 1940’s through the 1970’s, Frederick ended her career by joining a fledgling radio network in the late 1970’s called NPR. Ms. Frederick’s career has been brought to life in a new biography, Pauline Frederick Reporting: A Pioneering Broadcaster Covers the Cold War, written by Professor Marilyn Greenwald of the E. W. Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University. The book, published by Potomac Books, was released just last month in January 2015. This is Greenwald’s fourth biography of journalistic giants. Greenwald talked about her latest book and the personal life and career of Frederick with Spectrum's Tom Hodson.
