"Bieder was an industry pioneer who had come up in the male-dominated news field, but she was intent on covering the basics with her student proteges. Joan could be a feminist icon, but she started out at ABC News making photocopies, Fronista said. She said to me, We're going to the copy machine, because young people have to know how to do this.'"
"Bieder, who helped grow the broadcast track of the journalism school, influencing numerous journalists in the field, died at her home in Kensington on Oct. 26. She was 83 and a member of Berkeley's Congregation Netivot Shalom. Born on Feb. 13, 1943, in Stamford, Connecticut, Bieder was raised in an Orthodox Jewish home and attended her high school prom with Joe Lieberman, the future senator and vice presidential candidate."
