David Diaz, a celebrated journalist and educator, passed away last week at the age of 82, leaving behind a lasting legacy in New York City journalism. Known as a "reporter's reporter," Diazwho covered pivotal events like 9/11 across major networks including NBC 4 and CBS 2, was fondly remembered by colleagues as a mentor and professional. After a distinguished career, he shifted to teaching at CUNY, further influencing future generations of journalists. Despite facing health challenges later in life, Diaz's impact on the industry and his rich understanding of New York remained deeply respected.
A reporter's reporter. New York City guy. Hardscrabble, you know, bringing himself up and wanted to bring others up as well.
He was a consummate professional, a charming, charming man, understood New York like very few journalists know.
