Diane Sawyer

Dianne Sawyer is one legendary woman in the news and journalism world. She was born into a prominent family – her father is Erbon Power Sawyer, a county judge, and her mother, Jean Sawyer, a school teacher. She was once a beauty queen during her high school years, which contributes to the reason why she is very much a darling on the television. She got her degree at Wellesley College where she majored in English.

After few years of struggling to find her spot in the journalism industry, Sawyer got her foot indoor by becoming a general-assignment reporter in CBS News. Since then, she rose to prominence as a news anchor and morning news host. Sawyer became the first female correspondent of 60 Minutes. To her credit, she was also the first to report about the 9/11 attacks while she was on Good Morning America. In 2014, she announced that she was leaving ABC World News but is not yet retiring. Unfortunately, a personal tragedy struck the family that caused her to be out of the spotlight. She made her return just recently for the documentary special report for the COVID-19 pandemic in America.
