Aaron Brown
Air Date: August 15, 2008
He has been an anchorman for ABC News and CNN, reporting on the biggest national and international stories over the last 20 years, including widely-hailed coverage of 9/11 from New York City.
But Aaron Brown made his bones in Seattle. Starting as an overnight assignment desk assistant for KING 5 News , Brown worked his way up to become one of Seattle's premier reporters and anchormen.
In 2008, he was inducted into the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Northwest Chapter's hall of fame, the Silver Circle.
Now teaching at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State University, Brown is returning to television with PBS as the host of this season’s Wide Angle.
Enrique Cerna sits down with his former KING colleague to talk about Brown’s storied career in Seattle, his entry into the world of public television, and an unflinching look at the state of journalism in America today.
