Do you remember Carol Lin? When she left CNN, she was anchoring the Weekend edition of Newroom at 10pm.
Need a refresher? Well, I dug this out of the archives this evening, so here is a clip from the night that she signed off from CNN for the last time:
An excerpt below of her parting words (from the CNN Transcript) on December 30, 2006:
One of the great writers on my team gave me a card tonight with a photo of a ladder reaching for the heavens. And it reads "And the dreamer began to climb."
Nearly four years ago, I just wanted a good war to cover and a chance to tell your story. Well, be careful for what you wish for. I had Kosovo, the Middle East, Afghanistan, and 9/11.
And then there was the unexpected battle and the one that I lost. My husband's cancer.
So many people have asked me what's next? Well, one of projects is a blog book that will serve as an online investigation into our healthcare system. Who gets the cures and who doesn't and the heroes who held our hands.
She recently started a website: Carol Lin Reporting. It's still in the early stages of development, but she's still looking for stories to tell.
I really enjoyed Carol Lin and was so sorry to see her leave CNN. Hopefully she'll accomplish bigger and better things.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Phebe. I'm sad that Carol Lin left CNN. She, Daryn Kagan and Judy Woodruff were among the female anchors that I truly miss.
ReplyDeleteI hear Ms. Kagan also has her own website and I see Ms. Woodruff on PBS nightly.
Thanks for the update on Carol, BA!
