This is Fresh Air. I'm Tanya Mosley. We're looking back at some of our favorite interviews of the year. Today, pioneering TV journalist Connie Chung. When Chung appeared on television back in the 70s, it was the first time many Americans had seen an Asian woman reporting the news and setting the national conversation with her interviews with heads of state and controversial figures.

For three decades, Chung was a key player in every major news cycle, covering Capitol Hill, the White House, the Pentagon, and the State Department. In 1991, she was the first journalist to get a sit-down interview with Magic Johnson, just a month after he announced his HIV status.
