      pioneer American female television news correspondent.

      After receiving her A.M. degree in international law from American University, Washington, D.C., Frederick worked as a free-lance reporter on so-called women's issues. She used this experience to gain a foothold in journalism, and after the end of World War II she reported on the Nürnberg trials of Nazi war criminals, China's admission into the United Nations, and the Korean War.

      Frederick reported news for the American Broadcasting Company (ABC; 1946–53), and covered the United Nations for ABC, beginning in the late 1940s, and for the National Broadcasting Company (NBC), which she joined in 1953. After retiring from NBC radio and television news in 1974 she commented on foreign affairs for National Public Radio. In 1976 she became the first woman journalist to moderate a presidential candidates' debate when she presided over a televised forum featuring Gerald R. Ford and Jimmy Carter.
