[Magdalen] R.I.P. Gwen Ifill

[Scott Knitter]

This is SO sad...and perhaps unexpected? I don't know. Lord, have
mercy. From CNN:

Gwen Ifill, the veteran journalist and newscaster who co-hosted “PBS
NewsHour,” has died at the age of 61, her close friend Michele Norris
said Monday.

Ifill -- who also worked at The Washington Post, The New York Times
and NBC News -- became moderator of the PBS "Washington Week in
Review" in 1999 and co-host of “NewsHour” in 2013. She and co-host
Judy Woodruff were the first women to co-host a nightly TV news
broadcast.

Ifill also moderated vice presidential debates in 2004 and 2008, as
well as a 2016 Democratic primary debate.
