I had the honor of meeting & photographing Lisa Ling at Roy Thomson Hall last night. After 3+ years working beside Barbara Walters on The View Lisa’s television journalism has seen her currently working for National Geographic Explorer exposing stories of humanity at it’s worst. Covering stories of bride burning in India and gang rapes in the Congo in Africa. “The reason I love this kind of work” Ling said ” is that I experience the worst of humanity, but every time I bring one of these stories to light I experience the best of humanity”.
Lisa plans on continuing working with Oprah for special reports on the new OWN network – Oprah Winfrey Network a joint venture between Oprah and Discovery Communications.
