Award-winning CNN anchor Aaron Brown has died at age 76.
Brown died Sunday, according to his family, the news network announced on Tuesday.
The broadcast journalist won widespread acclaim for his coverage of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City ― his very first on-air appearance for CNN. Brown had not initially been slated to go on air but got pulled in amid the frenzy of breaking news, reporting from the roof of the network’s office in Manhattan, the network said in its obituary.
He won the Edward R. Murrow Award for his coverage of the terrorist attacks.
Brown worked in local TV news in Seattle for more than a decade before joining ABC News as a founding anchor for its late-night “World News Now,” which began airing in 1992. He joined CNN in July 2001, a few months before the on-air appearance that would become a major part of his legacy.
