Judy Woodruff
You can find inspiration when you're not even looking for it.
But I want to pay tribute to Anna Lee Woodruff, an extraordinary, selfless woman and beautiful grandmother who in her quiet determined way was a role model for her two daughters, and who left a lasting impression on so many who knew her.
As the mother of a son with disabilities, I try to keep an eye out for news that affects people in the large community of which he is a part.
We decided to focus on women because no one was singling them out.
Every news organization should ideally be as broadly representative as possible.

As the mother of a grown son with a traumatic brain injury, I couldn't be more excited about the prospect of finding out how to repair even a small part of the damage that changed his life.
If you spend enough time in or around Washington, you'll meet amazing people who work for the government.
My younger sister retired a few years ago after a 30-year career teaching history and social studies at an inner-city high school.
And I've been incredibly lucky to have a long career in journalism that has given me a front-row seat to some of the most important moments in modern American political life.
My mother was adored by her family and by the scores of children she took care of and their parents, all of whom called her 'Miss Woody.'
For the past 21 years, I've been privileged to be part of an amazing organization called the International Women's Media Foundation.

A dramatic unwinding of that relationship [between USA and China], by way of an aggressive trade policy, is one of the nightmare scenarios for the global economy as a whole, because it would result in a spiraling depreciation of the dollar, a surge in American interests rates, a collapse in the market for American government debt.Collection: Government
People put on their earphones, they lay out their phones, they put - open up their computers, and they convince themselves that they're most productive when they're focused on their e-mail, when, really, they're ignoring the cafeteria, the watercooler, the meetings with colleagues, the times when really the creativity, collaboration happens.Collection: Creativity
The vast majority of Americans are employed in service sector industries, and many of those sectors are highly internationalized. The most high-value added sectors, notably the tech sector, is massively globalized. And, for them, it would be a disaster if America's trade policy was to go down a spiraling route towards protectionism.Collection: America
