Good morning. I'm Linda Wertheimer.

She's been an ambassador for world peace, a dentist, an aerobics instructor. For her 125th job, Barbie polled fans on what she should do next. Their choice: journalism. The doll's tagline is a flair for journalism and power of pink. Appropriately perky, Barbie's blond, dressed for cable news in a low-cut cami and glittery pink suit. Comes with a microphone and camera. Does she blog?

It's MORNING EDITION.
