In 1955, after failing to land steady work in theater, Sanders accepted a low-level job in television news, working for Ted Yates, the producer for Mike Wallace on WNEW-TV. She eventually became associate producer of the show and, after Wallace left, became a co-producer. This was an unprecedented achievement, as women were typically relegated to performing solely administrative functions in the newsroom.
Her career progressed from there. Sanders is credited with having helped to break down the barriers women faced in broadcasting at the time. She was the first woman to cover the Vietnam war from the field; the first woman anchor of a nightly newscast for a major network and eventually the first woman vice president of the ABC News division.
Sanders began working for CBS News in 1978, where she resumed producing documentaries. She also reported on the women’s movement and the status of women in the news and reporting industry with CBS.
Sanders later became an Emmy Award–winning correspondent, writer, producer and broadcast-news executive. She was a member of the Peabody Awards Board of Jurors from 1998 to 2004.
