an interesting piece of the immigrant experience is that what media you know is often based on when your family arrived. i first heard of Connie Chung from Connie Wong's New York Time piece (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/05/11/opinion/connie-chung-named-after.html).
now in her late 70s, it was fun to listen to Connie describe her experiences growing up and getting into the news business. there's definitely strategies about the news business that makes me a little uncomfortable, but it is still helpful to think about how the stories that make the news are created. also got me thinking about how Vietnam was the first war Americans experienced on TV and how the current Israeli invasion is the most prominent aggression we are witnessing in real time on social media.
