Barbara Walters is a name that is wildly known amongst journalist world wide. Her bold tactics of directly asking direct questions during interviews and sometimes catching people off guard definitely paved the way for journalist that followed. She presented matter-of-fact questions and allowed the facts to speak for themselves. "According to Walters, being surrounded by celebrities when she was young kept her from being "in awe" of them." as cited on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_Walters . I personally loved seeing several of her interviews and wish that all journalist would be so bold, but it seems as though journalist these days tend to lead toward stories that build ratings.
