NEW YORK (PIX11) – Doug Kahn, a pillar of the PIX11 newsroom, passed away over the weekend.
He joined PIX11 News 34 years ago as an assignment desk editor — the command center of any newsroom. Doug was a pivotal part of the team that orchestrates how PIX11 covers the news, coordinating photographers and reporters to make sure they got to the stories that matter to you and your communities.
He was a native New Yorker with an unmatched knowledge of the city that helped him excel at his job.
"I am a better journalist because of Doug Kahn," PIX11 News anchor Shirley Chan said.
PIX11 News trusted his news judgment and ability to know the most important story of the day. Our thoughts are with him and anyone whose life he touched.
