UNC Alumna Brooke Baldwin Among Most Influential in Media 2017

Posted Dec 21, 2017
Brooke Baldwin’s most viral moment of the year came when radio host Clay Travis made an astoundingly juvenile remark during an interview on her daytime CNN show. His sexist comment went viral, but one thing should not be lost in the comedy of the clip: Baldwin’s characteristically professional handling of the segment. She later penned an op-ed condemning the remark. (Mediaite.com)
