WTTW, the local public television station, has a five-day-a-week news
magazine show Chicago Tonight. Paris Schutz was the long-time host and
reporter, since being an intern fresh out of college two decades ago.
He's the regular host of the weekly news roundtable on Friday Week in
Review, which had been merged into Chicago Tonight many years ago.

I missed the news but it had been announce that he'd resigned from WTTW
a month ago. Last night 4/12/2024 was his last television appearance.
A portion of the show was devoted to him. He's in his early 40s.

PBS NewsHour devoted significant time to Robert MacNeil, whose death was
announced yesterday morning. He was 93. I'm sure the recorded tribute
had long been recorded but they had a long segment with three colleagues
expressing thoughts. The show grew out of significant coverage and news
analysis of hours and hours of the Senate Watergate hearings in early
'70s.

He'd retired three decades ago. I remember watching at times with Lehrer
but I rarely watched with Lehrer as the sole anchor. Once Gwen Ifill
took over, I watched quite a lot.
