Journalism Legend, Cokie Roberts Dies At 75.
TAPPER: A sad day for people who knew Cokie Roberts. She blazed the trail for women and journalism. She told the stories of those who paved the way for her that were overlooked. And today we're saying goodbye to veteran journalist and my friend and former colleague at ABC News Cokie Roberts. Her family announced she died from complications from breast cancer at 75 years old. Roberts has worked four decades in broadcast journalism starting when few women held prominent roles in smoke-filled newsrooms. She enjoyed over five golden decades with her husband Steven with whom she wrote a weekly news column. One just this week titled Truth Tellers are Heroes. Our thoughts are with Steven, their children, and grandchildren, all of those whose lives she touched including her friends at ABC News. May Cokie Roberts' memory be a blessing. Our coverage on CNN continues right now.
