ABC's Elizabeth Vargas: I Wasn't Baby-Booted | Today's News: Our Take | 1/24/2007
Onetime World News Tonight coanchor Elizabeth "I'm Almost Too Hot for People to Focus On What I'm Saying" Vargas insists that she was not, as speculated/surmised/reported, "pushed out" of the plum gig when she announced her pregnancy a year ago. Rather, she told Oprah on Tuesday, it was her call to commit to monitoring more "domestic affairs." "I was finding it more and more difficult to do the [coanchor] job the way I wanted to do it, which is 100 percent, and still be a great mother," she shared. Noting that her firstborn, Zachary, now 3, "really paid a price for the hours I was gone," Vargas said. "For me, it just wasn’t working." read more
Vargas Milks "Breast-Feeding" Pic for Laughs | Today's News: Our Take | 11/15/2006
Accompanying an interview with ABC News' Elizabeth Vargas about the motherhood-and-career balancing act, next month's Marie Claire presents a pic of the journalist breast-feeding at the anchor desk. What's the big deal? Vargas never posed for it, meaning it's a Photoshopped photo op. At least she has a sense of humor about it: An insider tells the New York Daily News that the newswoman joked that 1) her real son was way cuter than the tot "she" is providing for in the pic, and 2) if she were to ever sit for such a shot, it wouldn't be in some ugly gold top. read more

<I>World News</i> Anchor: Gibson In, Vargas Out | Today's News: Our Take | 5/23/2006
Charles Gibson has been named the sole anchor of World News Tonight, effective May 29, it was announced Tuesday by ABC News president David Westin. Gibson, who will perform double duty as coanchor of Good Morning America until the end of June, will replace Elizabeth Vargas, who upon returning from her imminent maternity leave will anchor 20/20 and contribute to prime-time specials. Says Vargas in a statement, "My doctors have asked that I cut back my schedule considerably, and what works best for me and my family is to return to 20/20 as I raise my new baby and young son." The naming of Gibson to World News' anchor chair also affords Vargas' coanchor, Bob Woodruff, time to recover from the injuries he suffered while reporting from Iraq. "All of us look forward to that day [when Woodruff returns]," Westin says. "But it will be on Bob's timetable, not ours." read more
