Barbara Walters, a pioneer for women in broadcasting<\/a> and Emmy award winner has died at 93, ABC News confirmed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Walters was a longtime ABC News anchor who also hosted the primetime show<\/a> “20\/20” and created the women’s talk show “The View” in 1997.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Walters was born September 25, 1929, in Boston, and soon after graduating from Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, N.Y., she took a job as a writer for CBS.<\/p>\n

Later, in 1974, she joined NBC’s “Today” show as the first female host, after rising through the ranks at the peacock network, according to the New York Post’s PageSix.<\/p>\n

Two years later, she joined ABC News, where she became the first female anchor of an evening news program and earned an unprecedented-for-the-time $1 million salary.<\/p>\n

It was at ABC News where she would make her biggest mark on journalism, first as a co-host of the popular “20\/20” newsmagazine, and later creating “The View” in 1997. The morning talk show’s first regular panelists were Walters, Meredith Viera, Star Jones, Joy Behar and Debbie Matenopoulos.<\/p>\n

Walters left the roundtable in 2014 but stayed on with “The View” as executive producer, according to the Post.<\/p>\n

Walters\u2019 exclusive interviews with rulers, royalty and entertainers brought her celebrity status that ranked with theirs, while placing her at the forefront of the trend in broadcast journalism that made stars of TV reporters and brought news programs into the race for higher ratings.<\/p>\n

In 2004, Walters reflected on her success, remarking that she never imagined becoming a star news anchor:<\/p>\n

“I never expected this,” she said at the time. “I always thought I\u2019d be a writer for television. I never even thought I\u2019d be in front of a camera.”<\/p>\n

Of her interview style, Walters remarked to the Associated Press in 2008, “I\u2019m not afraid when I\u2019m interviewing, I have no fear.”<\/p>\n

During her tenure in the news, Walters held several high-profile interviews, including a 2-hour sit down with former Clinton White House intern Monica Lewinsky in 1999; her first following the infamous scandal that led to the president’s impeachment.<\/p>\n

She also interviewed Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, President Richard Nixon, Russian President Vladimir Putin \u2013 and lighter fare including Kermit The Frog & Miss Piggy, as well as Justin Bieber.<\/p>\n

Speaking with the Los Angeles Times in 2013 about her retirement from journalism, Walters said she did not want to anchor another program or “climb another mountain.”<\/p>\n

“I want to instead sit on a sunny field and admire the very gifted women \u2014 and OK, some men too \u2014 who will be taking my place,” she told the paper.<\/p>\n

On Fox News’ “Hannity” Friday, media critic Joe Concha reacted to Walters’ death, saying the late journalist embodied the best of the profession.<\/p>\n

“[W]e talk about liberal bias and we talk about all the things that are wrong with media now today in America. But there was a time, particularly back in the 70s, in the 80s, where Barbara Walters was a great journalist and one of the first a real trailblazer, for that matter, for females within this profession as far as anchoring before anybody else even thought about putting a female anchor on the air,” he said.<\/p>\n

“And then obviously she came up with the idea for The View back in the 90s — It’s not the view that we watch today, obviously, but her idea at the time was an exchange of ideas and debate from all sides. And she will be missed.”<\/p>\n
