Nancy Dickerson (January 19, 1927 – October 18, 1997) was a pioneering American radio and television journalist. As famous as a celebrity and socialite as she was for her journalism, she later became an independent producer of documentaries. Dickerson got her break in 1954, when she was hired by CBS News's Washington bureau. She would also become associate producer of Face the Nation. In 1960, CBS made her its first female correspondent. She reported for NBC News from 1963 to 1970, covering all the pivotal stories: political conventions, election campaigns, inaugurations, Capitol Hill, and the White House. She is noted as being the first woman correspondent on the floor of a political convention. In 1963, she covered the 1963 March on Washington, in which Martin Luther King, Jr., delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. More
