Marlene Sanders

Marlene Sanders

Marlene Sanders (born January 10, 1931) began her broadcast journalism career in 1955 working for Mike Wallace of CBS, as his local producer.[1] In those days, women were usually in the newsroom solely to perform secretarial functions.

Sanders is a female pioneer in broadcasting and she has a number of firsts to her credit: the first woman to cover the Vietnam war from the field; the first woman anchor of a nightly newscast for a major network; and eventually the first woman vice president of the ABC News division.

Sanders later became an Emmy Award–winning correspondent, writer, producer and broadcast-news executive.

Sanders is the mother of Jeffrey Toobin (with husband Jerome Toobin who died in 1984[2]), lawyer, author, and CNN legal analyst.
