Legendary reporter and news anchor Connie Chung’s upcoming memoir debuts on Sept. 17, and to promote the book, Chung is going on a book tour.
Changing Hands Bookstore will host the author at an event at Mesa Arts Center at 3 p.m. on Sept. 21.
In “Connie: A Memoir,” Chung delves into her storied career as the first Asian woman to break into an overwhelmingly white, male-dominated television news industry.
NYT best-selling nonfiction author Walter Isaacson said, “This delightful memoir is filled with Connie Chung’s trademark wit, sharp insights, and deep understanding of people. It’s a revealing account of what it’s like to be a woman breaking barriers in the world of TV news, filled with colorful tales of rivalry and triumph. But it also has a larger theme: how the line between serious reporting and tabloid journalism became blurred.”
Cost to attend the event is $43, which includes a general admission seat and a pre-signed copy of the book. The event will include an audience Q&A, but no meet-and-greet or signing line.
Visit the Changing Hands website for tickets and details.
