Summary of Paula Faris's Called Out

By IRB Media

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I was ready to quit my career as a journalist. I had spent six years at the ABC News headquarters in New York City, filing reports for the network and co-hosting World News Now. I was ready to move on.

#2 I explain to James that I need to walk away from The View and the weekend anchor desk at GMA. The Wednesday-through-Sunday schedule is killing me. It’s affecting my marriage and keeping me from my kids.

#3 The executive had warned me of the long-term vocational implications if I left, but I didn’t blame them. After all, they weren’t the only one. Just days before, when I’d told my co-anchor Dan Harris that I was considering leaving the co-anchor desk, he’d said much the same thing.

#4 I had a full portfolio of big interviews in 2017, but the hardest year of my adult life was the previous one, when I thought I was in the clear but ended up having a miscarriage and having to have an emergency surgery due to an infection.
