If you watched CBS News or 48 Hours in the last 3 decades, you undoubtedly are familiar with Harold Dow.
He and Ed Bradley were some of the initial Black television reporters and they both did their jobs with style and credibility. Now, following Bradley’s death in November of 2006, we have lost another trailblazing journalist.
Emmy-winning CBS News correspondent Harold Dow, who helped shape the documentary program “48 Hours” and covered the kidnapping of Patricia Hearst and the 9/11 attacks has died. He was 62.
Dow died suddenly Saturday morning in New Jersey. He lived in Upper Saddle River, N.J., but it wasn’t immediately clear if he’d been at home.
Dow had been a correspondent for “48 Hours” since 1990. His nearly 40 years with the network also included reporting for “CBS Evening News with Dan Rather” and “CBS News Sunday Morning.”
As a co-anchor and talk-show host for KETV in Omaha, Neb., he was the first African-American television reporter in that city.
He is survived by his wife, Kathy, and their three children.
