VIDEO: A tribute to Linda Yu from friends, colleagues
Many will remember her during her tenure on the 11 a.m. news anchoring alongside Sylvia Perez. They were paired together in 1992 when the news was on at 11:30 a.m. Then, 11 years later, the news was expanded to an hour. Their pairing was really ground breaking at the time. Not only were they the first female anchor team in Chicago, but it was certainly ground breaking to have two female minorities anchoring together. Throughout Linda's career, she's been a role model and mentor to so many young aspiring journalists. Watch the video below to hear a tribute from some of Linda's friends and colleagues.
