Lisa Ling is currently Special Correspondent for “The Oprah Winfrey Show” and Contributor to National Geographic Channel and the Oxygen Network. From stories about gang rape in the Congo to bride burning in India, The Oprah Show has been sending Ling all over the world to cover vitally important stories that much of the world chooses to ignore.

Since joining National Geographic in December 2002 as the first woman host of Explorer, Ling has covered the looting of antiquities in war-torn Iraq, investigated the increasingly deadly drug war in Colombia, examined the complex issues surrounding China's one-child policy. During Explorer's 2005 season, Ling explored the phenomenon of female suicide bombers and the hidden and dangerous culture inside American prisons. For the Oxygen Network, Ling is hosting a series very important to her that explores the challenges that girls face worldwide: it's called "Who Cares About Girls."
