Linda Mason writes: “My book, Speak Up: Breaking the Glass Ceiling at CBS News, was published. I wrote it to show how I advanced from the lowest position at CBS—a desk assistant—to senior vice president during my 47 years at the company. In the book, I share what I did to become the first female producer at CBS, as well as how I worked with Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather, and Charles Kuralt on major breaking stories worldwide. I wrote about my experiences in Tiananmen Square in Beijing with Dan and Charles at the height of the incident, and my tour with Dan to Cuba to visit Fidel Castro; and I took Dan and General Norman Schwarzkopf to Vietnam 20 years after the war ended. Sprinkled throughout the book are tips on how to make it then—and today.”
