During my years at CNN, I had my problems with people on the assignment desk. But not with Bev Broadman - who actually listened - even with a phone in each ear. And who solved problems rather than causing them.
Bev died last week.
Others who knew her better, or at least more recently, have posted remembrances.
Anderson Cooper's post.
Bob Franken's post.
Best of all, though, is this video tribute on the CNN site, in which she was taped talking about "teamwork...not being a prima donna."
Great attributes sometimes lost in the glitter and glamour of TV news. Bev didn't care for the trappings - only for the news. What a role model for today's journalists - young and old.
