Walker, who has been the executive producer on the Larry King Live show for the last 16 years, shares exciting memories and life lessons learned over the span of her career. Walker started with a brief stint at ABC (during which she roomed with another fledgling assistant, Katie Couric) and took off when she joined Ted Turner’s new Cable News Network. Walker recounts the early years of the network, during which CNN struggled for recognition, from both viewers and the big three networks. With vivid detail, Walker shares her experiences covering the shooting of President Reagan during CNN’s infancy to prepping for Larry King’s shows on 9/11, the Scott Peterson case, and the death of Michael Jackson. She also shares sensible business tips that are applicable to any field: be positive and upbeat, don’t expect constant praise, be incredibly organized, and work harder than anyone else. A handy, accessible guide for anyone seeking work in a high-pressure field, as well as a lively look at the big events of the last three decades.
