Gwen Ifill (1955–2016) was a dedicated viewer of The Huntley-Brinkley Report during her formative years, often witnessing footage of the Civil Rights Movement—images that her father would supplement with his own accounts of participating in marches. She felt an early pull towards journalism and writing, but didn’t anticipate a career in television. Ifill went on to work at NBC News, PBS NewsHour, and PBS’s Washington Week—at the latter as the program’s first female African-American moderator. Hers was a valued voice in television journalism, silenced too soon by her untimely passing at the age of sixty-one. Karen Herman conducted the interview on October 20, 2011, in Washington, D.C.

格温·伊菲尔（Gwen Ifill，1955-2016年）是亨特利·布林克利报告（Huntley-Brinkley Report）的成年观众，在她成长的初期，经常目睹民权运动的镜头-形象是她父亲会补充自己参加游行的记录。她觉得自己很早就开始从事新闻和写作，但是没想到他会从事电视事业。Ifill继续在NBC新闻，PBS NewsHour和PBS的华盛顿周工作，后者是该计划的首位女性非裔美国主持人。她的声音是电视新闻界的宝贵声音，但由于她61岁那年不合时宜的逝世而沉默得太早了。卡伦·赫尔曼（Karen Herman）于2011年10月20日在华盛顿特区进行了采访
