To say Lisa Ling has experienced a lot in her relatively young life is a major understatement. She currently serves as a Special Correspondent for the Oprah Show and as a Contributor to National Geographic Channel, Nightline and CNN. She’s circled the globe covering stories that much of the world has ignored, from gang rapes in the Congo to bride burning in India to examining China’s one-child policy. She has also reported on the phenomenon of female suicide bombers, the hidden and dangerous culture inside American prisons and the world’s most dangerous gang.

Lisa has also hosted a series on the Oxygen Network that explores the challenges that girls face worldwide called “Who Cares About Girls.” Lisa first hit the spotlight as co-host of the hit daytime talk show, The View, where she shared opinions on current events and everyday issues.

Lisa has been working in television for nearly two decades. At age 16, she hosted Scratch, a nationally syndicated teen magazine show. Soon after, she became one of the youngest reporters for Channel One News, a network seen in middle and high schools.  By the age of 25, Lisa was Channel One’s Senior War Correspondent, visiting violent hot spots around the globe.  In the field, she hunted down cocaine processing labs, reported on refugee crises and shared tea with the Dalai Lama.  Altogether, she reported from more than two dozen countries, including Afghanistan, Iraq, and Iran.

Her hard work continues off-camera where she serves as a contributing editor for USA Weekend and recently co-authored a book entitled “Mother, Daughter, Sister, Bride: Rituals of Womanhood.”

Earlier this year, Lisa was in the headlines for a completely different reason – her sister Laura was arrested and detained in North Korea for several months before being released to former President Bill Clinton.
