Lynne Joiner

author, news media consultant, former news anchor, news reporter and documentary filmmaker

A seasoned journalist with over twenty-five years' experience with some of the country's major news organizations, Joiner was the only American correspondent in China in 1976 when Premier Zhou Enlai died, an historic event that marked the passing of the revolutionary generation. It was her interest in China and Chinese-American relations that put her in that unique position, and it was through her reports to all three major TV networks that most Americans were kept abreast of what that historic changing of the guard signaled for the West.
