Pauley’s career in journalism has spanned more than 50 years, marked by an intelligent and warm approach that has made her one of the most trusted voices in U.S. news. She first rose to national prominence as co-host of NBC’s “Today” show in 1976 at age 25, ushering in a new era for women in broadcast journalism. She then co-anchored “Dateline NBC” for more than a decade.  She also hosted the daytime series “The Jane Pauley Show.” And next year, Pauley will celebrate her 10th anniversary as host of “CBS Sunday Morning,” the No. 1 Sunday morning program in viewers for 22 consecutive seasons, known for its thoughtful and inspiring storytelling.
