I have a routine on Saturday mornings. I fix coffee. I listen to Weekend Edition Saturday<\/i> with Scott Simon. And one of the things I listen for each week is Simon’s weekly discussion with Daniel Schorr.<\/p>\n
Simon tweeted a few minutes ago<\/a> that “My longtime friend and colleague Dan Schorr has died. Please find a moment today to say goodbye to him today in your own way.”<\/p>\n On Saturday’s edition, I didn’t recall hearing Schorr. I kept waiting for it, and then the show was over, and no Daniel Schorr. I wonder, now, if Schorr, who was 93, was already ill and hospitalized.<\/p>\n Simon reflects on Schorr’s career at greater length than a Tweet will allow<\/a> on NPR’s website, and NPR offers their own obituary of their Senior News Analyst<\/a>.<\/p>\n I read one of Schorr’s books<\/a>, Come To Think Of It<\/i>, a few months ago.<\/p>\n I’ll miss hearing Daniel Schorr’s voice. I’ll miss his insights and his wisdom. Journalism has lost one of its giants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have a routine on Saturday mornings. I fix coffee.
