On this episode, we talk with Veteran ABC/CNN Journalist and Author Carol Lin, best known as the first national anchor to report the September 11, 2001 attacks.Carol's extraordinary journalism career has taken her to some of the most consequential stories of our time, including the Kosovo War, the fall of the Taliban, the war in Iraq, the LA Riots, and investigative reporting on human trafficking.Her work has earned some of journalism's highest honors, including the Emmy Award, Peabody Award, and Alfred I. duPont Award.But Carol's new memoir, When News Breaks, goes far beyond the headlines.For Carol, breaking news and that defining split second when lives change became both an obsession and a calling—a love affair her traditional Chinese mother warned would never love her back. Then devastating news enters her own life, forcing Carol to confront questions that couldn't be answered from behind a news desk.She writes candidly about journalism, 9/11, ambition, marriage, infidelity, cancer, motherhood, sacrifice, identity, family, and the price of a career that demands everything.When News Breaks is ultimately the story of a woman who has witnessed history firsthand but still has to discover who she is when the cameras stop rolling and the headlines disappear.In this powerful conversation, we explore Carol's career, the experience of covering history as it happens, the responsibility of journalists during breaking news, her journey through personal adversity, and the path toward becoming the mother and person she wanted to be.From her base in Hawaii, Carol Lin shares an incredible life filled with integrity, grit, courage, truth, journalism, and humanity.More Carol LinCarol Lin — Official WebsiteFor More Famous Interviews: Subscribe via Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgi6GpDDDrc_PgOzaERGbLQ Subscribe via iTunes/Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/famous-interviews-with-joe-dimino/id1660256991Subscribe via Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7j92QDS13LXgajPt80X2dhThe Home of Famous Interviews: http://famousinterviewswithjoedimino.blogspot.com/Contribute to Famous Interviews via PayPal:                    https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_b Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
