Bill Small, the former Washington bureau chief for CBS News and president of NBC News, died Sunday
after a brief illness unrelated to the coronavirus, the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announced. He was 93.
Meanwhile, Diane Sawyer, Lesley Stahl, Susan Zirinsky, Connie Chung, Martha Teichner and Rita Braver were among the women brought into the profession during his tenure. From D.C., Small oversaw coverage of the assassination and funeral of John F. Kennedy; the civil rights movement, including the March on Washington and the Senate filibuster of the 1964 Civil Rights Act; the escalation of the war in Vietnam; President Nixon's trip to China in 1972; and Watergate.
Months after he resigned in 1982, he was hired as president of United Press International, then the nation's second-largest news agency, and stayed through 1984.
