After CNN, Woodruff Keeps Eye on Media Diversity
Source: Women's E News After three decades interviewing policymakers and political wonks, Judy Woodruff is not about to take a break.The former White House correspondent and anchor is embarking on a new phase in her post-CNN career, with a Harvard fellowship and travels around the nation.
Woodruff, 58, the former anchor of CNN's now canceled "Inside Politics," left the network in June after deciding that the time had come to switch gears. She is now planning to look at politics from a new angle, particularly from the perspective of women and young people.
Woodruff's fellowship at Harvard University, with the Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy, is also designed to take a piercing look at the issues that journalists cover and how students view them. Among those she hopes to explore include how news organizations operate in a climate of decreasing resources, the role of women in the news business and how the recent controversy over journalistic sourcing methods will affect the profession.
