Abstract

Despite its chaotic low points, the show introduced a more ambitious paradigm for talk shows aimed at a female audience--women who gossiped and voted, read People and the newspaper. There should be no confusion surrounding the greatest accomplishments of Barbara Walters, who died on Dec. 30 at 93. The show didn't mark the apex of Walters' career, but its insistence on taking women seriously changed daytime TV as profoundly as her ascendance in the anchor's seat changed the face of broadcast news.
