Barbara Walters is set to announce her retirement on The View today. After nearly 60 years in the biz, Barbara Walters is calling it quits...sort of. <br /><br />Walters, a longtime ABC News personality, has been a pioneer for women in the journalism industry. She became the first female co-host for a network news or a public affairs program in 1974 and then became the first female co-anchor on an evening news program two years later.<br /><br />FOR MORE NEXT MEDIA ANIMATION, GO TO: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=NMAWorldEdition <br />Facebook http://www.facebook.com/NMAtv<br />Twitter @nmatv http://www.twitter.com/nmatv<br />Tumblr http://nmatv.tumblr.com<br />Google+ http://gplus.to/NMAtv<br />Web http://www.nma.tv <br /><br />Not only is Walters a co-host on The View, but she also co-created the program in 1997. Although she will no longer appear on camera, Walters will continue her duties as the executive producer of the show. <br /><br />Walters, who is 83, said, "I do not want to appear on another program or climb another mountain," she said. "I want instead to sit on a sunny field and admire the very gifted women — and OK, some men too — who will be taking my place."<br /><br />Walters will retire from TV journalism in the summer of 2014.<br /><br />- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -<br /><br />FOR MORE NMA IN ENGLISH, GO TO: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=NMAtv <br /><br />FOR MORE APPLE DAILY ENGLISH, GO TO: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=AppleDailyEnglish <br /><br />FOR MORE TOMONEWS US, GO TO:<br />http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=TomoNewsUS <br /><br />FOR MORE TOMONEWS JP, GO TO: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=TomoNewsJP <br /><br />CHECK OUT THE ODDBODS! <br />http://www.youtube.com/user/nxTomo
