Ruschell Boone, a prominent reporter and anchor for Spectrum News NY1, passed away at 48 due to pancreatic cancer. Originally from Jamaica, she made a significant mark in journalism over more than twenty years at NY1, covering key events and issues in New York. Boone was praised for her versatile reporting style and ability to relate to everyday New Yorkers and powerful figures alike. Colleagues and public figures remembered her warm spirit and authenticity, acknowledging her contributions to the city and media landscape.
Ruschell was such a special person to so many people in that newsroom. She was really this larger-than-life person, and had such a huge heart.
I think of her as the quintessential NY1 reporter. She was an incredibly versatile journalist who turned parade reporting into an art form.
She was just so authentic. She was not covering people to just check a box. She got into it.
She was the heart and soul of the greatest city on the globe.
