NYU Journalism pays tribute to Pioneering TV Journalist & beloved Adjunct Professor, Marlene Sanders
We lost one of our best journalists, women’s advocate and adjunct professor with the death of Marlene Sanders on July 14. In 2012, NYU Journalism honored her as one of The 100 Outstanding Journalists in the United States in the Last 100 Years. But we remember her as an outstanding teacher and friend to both students and faculty, who taught with us at NYU for over 25 years.
NYU Journalism paid tribute to her on September 3, 2015.
Below are two videos from A Celebration of the Life and Career of Marlene Sanders:
