(CNN — Aaron Brown, the renowned CNN anchor who gained prominence for his coverage of the September 11 attacks and his pivotal role in shaping the network’s evening news format, died Sunday at 76, his family said.
Brown’s career in journalism began in local television in Seattle before becoming the founding anchor of ABC’s overnight news program “World News Now” and anchoring “World News Tonight Saturday.”
