KC1 Progress News…
Young Women in Excellence Special News Broadcast
Welcome to when the news was really news and news broadcasters were among some of the most trusted people in America! Walter Cronkite, news broadcaster, for two decades brought Americans their nightly news and he was the most trusted man in America…Kennedy’s assassination, landing on the moon etc. (See this CNN report).
We took our Young Women in Excellence Program back to that era and awarded our awards and reported personal progress in the style when news was really news and it was watched by everyone AND it was absolutely the truth! Welcome to our special broadcast of KC1 Progress news…
“Special invited guests” were greeted at the door with an official press pass and program:
