Oprah Winfrey elevated the talk show genre to a level few have been able to match. Instead of presenting a parade of mindless shows that exploited personal failings and social dysfunction for mere entertainment, Winfrey encouraged, inspired and motivated people to their best potential. She empowered viewers by offering thoughtful, informed and intelligent solutions to everyday struggles and challenges.
In Winfrey, we saw a sensitive and kindhearted humanitarian who used her prominent public position to affect positive change on people's lives and, by extension, the world. That's the great legacy Winfrey leaves behind after 25 years. Her show will truly be missed.
