Roger Mudd, a longtime TV news presence who read the news for CBS, NBC, and PBS, has died at his home in McLean, Virginia.
In 2010, Mr. Mudd donated $4 million to Washington and Lee, establishing the Roger Mudd Center for the Study of Professional Ethics and to endow a Roger Mudd professorship in ethics.
In 2008, Mudd published his memoir, The Place to Be: Washington, CBS, and the Glory Days of Television News.
In the 1980s, Mudd jumped to NBC when he did not get Walter Cronkite’s position on “CBS Evening News.”
