Aaron Brown Dead: CNN Anchor Was 76
SHARE

Aaron Brown, a renowned news anchor famous for his coverage during CNN’s broadcast of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks, passed away on Sunday in Washington, D.C. at the age of 76, as confirmed by his family to CNN.

Brown kickstarted his career as a radio talk show host in Minneapolis before transitioning to local television in Seattle. He eventually became the anchor of ABC’s overnight news programs “World News Now” and “World News Tonight Saturday.” In 2001, he joined CNN and took on the role of anchoring “NewsNight,” a program that combined breaking news with in-depth analysis.

During the Sept. 11 terror attacks, Brown, who was still in training at the time, rushed to CNN’s Manhattan office and made his first appearance as an anchor, guiding millions of viewers through the dramatic events of that fateful day. Reflecting on reporting the attacks live, Brown admitted feeling unprepared and overwhelmed by the gravity of the situation.

For his exceptional coverage during the attacks, Brown was honored with the prestigious Edward R. Murrow award. This award recognizes outstanding achievements in broadcast and digital journalism, highlighting stories that uphold ethical standards, demonstrate technical expertise, and showcase the impact of journalism on the community.

In addition to the Edward R. Murrow award, Brown went on to win three Emmys, including one for his report “Streets of Iraq.” He also received accolades such as a DuPont award, two New York Film Society World medals, and a George Foster Peabody Award for his contributions to journalism.

After leaving CNN in 2005, Brown embarked on a teaching career at Arizona State University, serving as the school’s first Walter Cronkite professor of Journalism. He also held the John J. Rhodes Chair in Public Policy and American Institutions at Barrett, the Honors College at Arizona State University.

Colleagues and peers fondly remember Brown for his journalistic talents and dedication to the craft. Anderson Cooper of CNN described him as a great writer and broadcaster with a unique talent and a beautiful way with words. Brown’s wife, Charlotte Raynor, shared that he loved his work and cherished the time spent with his family.

Throughout his career, Brown worked tirelessly on various shifts, always finding a way to balance his professional commitments with his personal life. His legacy as a respected journalist and beloved family man will continue to inspire future generations in the field of journalism.
