Rena Golden has had 13 jobs in the past 16 years — all with the same company. Now the vice-president of CNN International, Golden dropped out of graduate school in 1985 to join the relatively new CNN network for a position she classifies as “just above entry-level.” Over the years, she has become one of the highest-ranking women at the network and is responsible for creating one of the most diverse newsrooms in the world.
“I defy anybody to find a more culturally diverse newsroom than the one we have at CNN International,” Golden said. In San Francisco as a featured speaker at the Asian American Journalists Association convention, Golden discussed her passion for global news, high-stress environments and the secret to living guilt-free.
