Women in journalism pass another milestone

Andrea Mitchell is NBC News’s chief foreign affairs correspondent and chief Washington correspondent. She is also the anchor of “Andrea Mitchell Reports” on MSNBC.

On Sept. 17, another milestone will be passed for women journalists. Kristen Welker is set to become the 13th moderator of “Meet the Press,” the longest-running show on American television. For the first time, every Sunday public affairs program will be moderated or co-moderated by a woman as Welker joins Dana Bash, Shannon Bream, Margaret Brennan, Jen Psaki and Martha Raddatz at the helms for their respective networks.
