Announcing the LWE Keynote Speaker: Mary Alice Williams of NJTV
Mary Alice Williams has a wealth of experience as a journalist. Her investigative work on such topics as foreign policy, ethics, technology and health have
made her a respected authority and recognized voice for public information. As one of the primary architects behind the design of CNN, the first worldwide
television network, Williams oversaw the construction of CNN’s New York Bureau at the World Trade Center prior to the launch of Cable News network
(CNN) in 1980 and served as the channel’s principal anchor and Vice President
in charge of the New York Bureau until 1989. She contributed to CNN’s award
winning program lineup and played a major role in the network’s development and globalization. She was a critical member of CNN’s political anchor
team and oversaw the planning and operation of the network’s second largest
bureau with responsibility for seven hours of original programming per day. In 1982, Williams was appointed Vice President, becoming one of the highest
ranking female executives in American television.
Williams was an anchor on the NBC News team that won a national Emmy Award for its coverage of the fall of communism.
During her tenure with NBC from 1989 – 1993, she also anchored Sunday Today, NBC News Special Reports, Yesterday
Today & Tomorrow and NBC’s extended coverage of Desert Storm: War in the Gulf. Williams was a frequent anchor and
correspondent for NBC Nightly News, Sunrise and The Today Show. In the wake of the September 11th terrorist attacks, she
wrote and hosted a 3-hour PBS special Reaching Out to Heal. She also hosted a companion program to Bill Moyers’ On Our
Own Terms, about death and dying, which aired in Fall 2000 on PBS. As host of Hallmark’s weekly True North program on
personal ethics, Williams earned the 2001 Gracie Allen Award and the 2001 Donald McGannon Ethics in Media Award. Her
90-minute PBS special on alcoholism and addiction, Within Reach, along with her work as a PBS contributing correspondent and anchor on Religion & Ethics Newsweekly have established Williams as a recognized commentator and reporter on
broad issues of ethics. One of the highest rated documentaries ever broadcast on Lifetime Television, Picture What Women
Do, about women, work and the American family was written and hosted by Williams, winning the 1995 Exceptional Merit
Media Award given by the National Women’s Political Caucus.
A published author, Williams adapted her weekly interview program for the Hallmark Channel about strategies for overcoming life’s toughest challenges into a book, Quiet Triumphs, published by Harper Collins.
