Panama-born Ginella Massa on Friday became the first Canadian woman donning the Islamic scarf covering the hair - known as hijab – to present a “major news cast” in the North American country.

“Guess who’s filling in as anchor for tonight's late newscast?,” Massa, who works for CityNews, wrote on her Facebook page, adding: “This is not just a big deal for me personally -- As far as I know, no woman in hijab has ever anchored a major news cast in Canada.”

Panama born? Anyway, it be Fox news or any of the female announcers, I guess it doesn't really matter what they wear.

Turtles need a shell to duck into.

For what it's worth, CityNews is a small local station in Toronto ON.
I would hardly call it a "major newscast".
