In Memoriam: Bill Headline

Bill Headline, who was CNN’s first DC bureau chief, has passed away. “Bill was one of the legends of Washington journalism, having carved out a successful career in the broadcast network world before coming to the cable upstart CNN,” says David Bohrman, CNN’s current DC bureau chief in a memo to staff. “Bill ran the DC operation in two locations here in town, and is responsible for hiring many of the great people who work here today.”
