My Take
I have a soft spot for career newsmen, and Dermot Murnaghan, who died in 2026 at 68, was the real article. Moving across Channel 4, CNBC Europe, ITN, BBC News and finally a long Sky News run from 2007 to 2023, he embodied the kind of steady, trustworthy presence that anchors a newsroom without grandstanding. I value that quiet professionalism more than flash. His Sussex education and measured delivery gave him an authority you could rely on at any hour of the day. He's a reminder that the people who hold the broadcast together rarely get the spotlight, and that's exactly why I admire him.
