PBS journalist Gwen Ifill has died of cancer at age 61. Ifill was co-anchor of the PBS “NewsHour” with Judy Woodruff and had moderated two vice presidential debates. She took a leave from her nightly show for health reasons earlier this year without ever making her illness public. A week ago, she went out on leave again in the midst of election coverage. PBS says Ifill was “a standard bearer for courage, fairness and integrity.”‘
