Sad Losses
Atlanta’s media community has lost two of its own recently.
Former WGCL-TV reporter Fred Powers died of cancer Monday. Though he had not been on the air for a few months, Powers was known for being willing to do most anything for a story, including enduring a dog attack and being Tasered. Visit his family’s website honoring Powers here. WGCL-TV has set up online memorial photos here.
On June 12, well-liked CNN executive producer Bob Coleman died after a long illness. I love what he often told his daughter, Nancy: “My favorite day is a day where I learn something new.”
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends of these well-respected journalists from our community.
