My Take
Ed Bradley represents the kind of journalism I find most worth celebrating. He climbed from teaching and part-time radio in Philadelphia to covering war zones and becoming a defining voice on 60 Minutes, and the trophy case of Polk, Peabody, Emmy and Robert F. Kennedy awards speaks for itself. What moves me, though, is not the hardware but the steadiness behind it: a reporter who chased difficult truths with calm authority and earned trust across decades. His death in 2006 took a singular presence from broadcast news. I regard him as a model of integrity, the rare anchor whose credibility felt fully earned.
