Zoey says she's adapting to the lack of male privilege. On the other hand, I feel she's gone about this so wrong, because she's lost control of her narrative, which has been told by the tabloid press." What does Zoey think about Bruce Jenner, who's been undergoing his own very public transformation as a transgender person? "To have the world's greatest athlete on the team is phenomenal. "It's a real gig." And she has hopes for the job with Inside Edition to continue past this month.
Zoey Tur says she'll be reporting both hard news and stories about transgender issues. And I said, 'Do you want to make history?' And he said, 'How so?" And I said, 'There's not a single trans person anywhere on the air as a television reporter.' And he said, 'I get it you're hired.'" So I called up Charles Lachman, left a message, and he called back three minutes later. "And I felt like if I'm good enough to interview, I'm good enough to be on the air. How did she get the gig? Inside Edition kept calling her for an interview about her transition. The transgender community needs their role models." "It's important that there be a transgender person on the air because diversity is important, and TV stations and networks have always promoted that they're diverse, but the reality is it's really a white, male-dominated industry. With a turn this month as a special correspondent for Inside Edition, Zoey Tur, the former macho TV chopper reporter Bob Tur, became the nation's first transgender TV reporter, and - as far as she knows - only the third in the world. And I don't know of anyone that's living stealth that's a broadcast reporter." - Zoey Tur on KPCC's Off-Ramp,
Will I be able to work in broadcast news again? There's not a single transgender transsexual person on the air in the United States that's open. When last we spoke with Zoey Tur about her gender reassignment, she said her goal was to become the nation's first transgender TV reporter.
