Murió Barbara Walters, icónica periodista y presentadora estadounidense
Falleció a las 93 años en su casa rodeada de sus seres queridos. Durante los más de 50 años de carrera ganó 12 premios Emmys. Fue una de las pioneras en el periodismo femenino. El mundo la despide en las redes
Mediante un comunicado oficial de su familia, se informó que anoche falleció Bárbara Walters, la legendaria periodista y presentadora de noticias estadounidense. Tenía 93 años y más de 50 dedicados al periodismo. Murió en su residencia de New York rodeada de sus afectos.
"Barbara Walters falleció en paz, rodeada de sus seres queridos, en su casa. Vivió su vida sin remordimientos. Fue una pionera no solo para las mujeres periodistas sino para todas las mujeres”, según el comunicado oficial que su portavoz, Cindi Berger, compartió con CNN.
Nació el 25 de septiembre de 1929 en Boston, Massachusetts. En 1976, comenzó a trabajar en ABC News y se convirtió en la primera mujer presentadora de uno de los grandes noticieros de Estados Unidos en horario estelar. En tiempos donde los rostros masculinos dominaban la televisión, ella se erigió como la principal voz femenina.
Tres años más tarde fue copresentadora de otro ciclo histórico: 20/20. En 1997, lanzó junto a Bill Geddie el programa The View, un talk show en el que un grupo de mujeres debatían sobre temas de la actualidad.
También entrevistó a todos los presidentes y primeras damas de Estados Unidos entre 1974 y 2016, desde Richard y Pat Nixon hasta Barack y Michelle Obama.
Deb & I are so sad that Barbara Walters passed away. She was a trail blazer, wickedly funny, generous, open hearted and a good friend. She also gave some
of the most memorable dinner parties we’ve ever been to. Get ready heaven, Barbara’s coming to spice things up. @Deborra_lee pic.twitter.com/pQfLSG5m7a

Simplest and best tribute to exemplify the Barbara Walters legacy :
On her final show on The View, they just brought one female journalist after another to honour her. All ages, races, from NBC to FOX, to say thank you. She’s completely overwhelmed and touched. pic.twitter.com/923BqlU7CG

Barbara Walters was an American institution. As the first female national news anchor, she opened the door to endless possibilities for so many girls who wanted to work in TV, myself included. Her impact cannot be overstated. I’ll miss you, Barbara. Thank you for everything. pic.twitter.com/HokDilM6Rj

So often we toss around the words icon, legend, trailblazer - but Barbara Walters was all of these. And perhaps, above all else, Barbara Walters was brave. She paved the way for so many - we learned from her - and remain in awe of her to this day. RIP, Barbara. pic.twitter.com/ovmtCebcGe

Thank you Barbara Walters for giving a shy girl who didn’t like to debate a seven-year chance of a lifetime. Thank You for allowing me to find my voice and encouraging me to fly. My heart hurts, but I’ll always love you Lady! ❤️ #BarbaraWalters pic.twitter.com/lzvtRnJiR4
