Bradley died of leukemia at Mount Sinai, CBS News announced.
Bradley joined "60 Minutes" in 1981, 10 years after he started with the network as a stringer in Paris.
Producer Don Hewitt, in his book "Minute by Minute," was quick to appreciate Bradley's work once he joined the "60 Minutes" crew.
"He's so good and so savvy and so lights up the tube every time he's on it that I wonder what took us so long," Hewitt wrote.
Bradley's consummate skills as a broadcast journalist and his distinctive body of work were recognized with numerous awards, including 19 Emmys, the latest for a segment that reported the reopening of the 50-year-old racial murder case of Emmett Till. |
