Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Born May 16, 1947 in Louisville, Kentucky and a graduate of the University of Louisville, Bob Edwards began his career in radio as a newscaster for Indiana station WHEL, New Albany, followed by a stint in Korea with the Armed Forces Radio and Television Service. He first came to Washington, D.C. in August, 1971 for graduate school; he earned his M.A. in Communication from American University, where he was mentored by Edward Bliss Jr., writer-producer for Edward R. Murrow, and later the first news editor of The CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite. While working on his degree, he worked at WTOP-AM, Washington, D.C., an all-news CBS affiliate. At 25, he moved to Mutual. After being dismissed ("I'm a big union guy. That didn't go over well with the Mutual Broadcasting System, now defunct."), he joined National Public Radio in 1974 as an associate news producer and the network’s only newscaster, where later that year Edwards was asked to join Susan Stamberg as co-host of a new NPR program, All Things Considered, originally an arts program which under the two became the news program known today.
