She served in several important roles at NBC News, particularly as Capitol Hill correspondent and weekend anchor of Today. A pioneer for women in broadcasting, Savitch led by example and proved that a woman could anchor an entire edition of a nationally televised newscast. Here we see her as a guest of NBC, being interviewed by Bryant Gumbel about her book Anchorwoman, and sharing her insight into the role of women and minorities in broadcasting.
