Television, Sexism, and Fake News: Anne Montgomery
Manage episode 352521041 series 3374682
This is Paul G. I wanted to take a moment at the beginning of this Episode and bring to your attention something Andrea and I feel is extremely important. Neither Andrea nor I support or recommend on this podcast any political ideology. We both have conservative, liberal, and centrist friends that we value very much. No matter what, we support the right of every human being to believe in and practice any religion or philosophy.
The only thing we ask of you, our listeners, is that you keep an open mind to all possibilities, no matter how profoundly opposite your own held beliefs may be. The only way to learn is to let go of bias and preconceived notions.
The world is full of dangers; learning should not be one of them.
Anne Butler Montgomery has worked as a television sportscaster, newspaper and magazine writer, teacher, author, and amateur sports official. Her first TV job came at WRBL-TV in Columbus, Georgia. It led to positions at WROC-TV in Rochester, New York, KTSP-TV in Phoenix, Arizona, and ESPN in Bristol, Connecticut, where she anchored the Emmy and ACE award-winning SportsCenter. She finished her on-camera broadcasting career with a two-year stint as the studio host for the NBA’s Phoenix Suns. Montgomery was a freelance and/or staff reporter for six publications, writing sports, features, movie reviews, and archeological pieces. Her novels include The Castle, A Light in the Desert, Wild Horses on the Salt, The Scent of Rain, and Wolf Catcher. Montgomery taught sports reporting at Arizona State University’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication and taught high school journalism for 20 years. She was an amateur sports official for four decades, a time during which she called baseball, ice hockey, soccer, and basketball games, and served as a high school football referee and crew chief. Montgomery is a foster mom to three sons and a daughter. When she can, she indulges in her passions: rock collecting, scuba diving, musical theater, and playing her guitar.
