Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei whitianga - I neke ia ki te hononga CBS-WTOP (i tenei wa ko WUSA) i Washington, DC, i te 1976. E rua tau i muri mai, ka neke a Mitchell ki te mahi purongo whatunga NBC, i reira ia i mahi ai hei kairipoata whanui. I te tau 1979, i whakaingoatia ia hei kairipoata mo te kaha o NBC News me te ripoata mo te raru o te kaha o te tau 1970 me te aitua karihi o Three Mile Island
He aha? I hipoki hoki a Mitchell i te White House mai i te 1981 tae noa ki te noho hei kairipoata matua o te Kaunihera i te tau 1988.
