TV Host Lisa Ling To Appear at Arts & Lectures Event
Lisa Ling, an award-winning television host, journalist and author, will speak at Cal State San Marcos on March 19 as part of the university’s Arts & Lectures series.
In a discussion titled “Women Breaking Boundaries,” Ling will talk about her life and explore how she overcame barriers and challenges experienced by women in non-traditional careers.
Ling recently completed her fifth season as the host of “This is Life with Lisa Ling,” a CNN documentary series in which she goes on a “gritty, breathtaking journey to the far corners of America.”
Ling is perhaps best known as a co-host of the popular ABC daytime talk show “The View” from 1999-2002. She left that job to return to her original passion of international reporting, doing investigative work for the National Geographic Channel and Oprah Winfrey Network.
She started her career at only 18, joining Channel One News as one of its youngest reporters and anchors and later serving as a war correspondent in Iraq and Afghanistan.
All attendees must purchase or reserve tickets online via the Arts & Lectures website.
Ling’s appearance is the fourth of sixth Arts & Lectures events scheduled for this spring at CSUSM.
