"Ms. Whedon began her radio and television career in 1952 as assistant producer of "ABC College News Conference." In 1958, when the program won a Peabody award for youth television programming, the show's producer and moderator, Ruth Hagy, insisted that Ms. Whedon, her "girl Friday," also take a bow. In 1960, she became producer of the "Issues and Answers" Sunday newsmagazine, and she is credited with being the first woman to regularly produce a television news series. She had overall editorial responsibility for the program, and she was awarded a Peabody for her work in 1968. She continued to produce that program until it went off the air."
