A biopic about Nancy Dickerson is in development at Showtime. The trailblazing reporter made history as the first woman hired as a network correspondent by CBS News. Titled “Hello Nancy,” the original film will be penned by Angela Workman (“The Zookeeper’s Wife”).

Deadline reports that the project is based on John Dickerson’s 2006 nonfiction book “On Her Trail, My Mother, Nancy Dickerson, TV News’ First Woman Star.” Stephen and Evelyn McGee Colbert are serving as executive producers on the film.

Dickerson made a name for herself in 1960s Washington as a political journalist. She was “the first female member of the Washington TV press corps, the first reporter to speak to John F. Kennedy after his inauguration, and more — all of which established her as a role model for a generation of aspiring media professionals,” the source details.

The pioneering journalist died in 1997.

It was just announced that two other influential women in media will be the subject of an upcoming film: Pulitzer Prize winners Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey. Their groundbreaking reporting on Harvey Weinstein’s decades of sexual abuse will be portrayed in a feature from Annapurna and Plan B. Former Washington Post publisher Katharine Graham was depicted by Meryl Streep in last year’s Pentagon Papers drama “The Post.”
