A U.S. postage stamp is being issued in honor of Eric Sevareid, the legendary CBS journalist who graduated from the University of Minnesota and worked for the Minneapolis Journal.
Sevareid, who died in 1992 at age 79, is one of five honored in the "American Journalists" series, the U.S. Postal Service said Tuesday. The others are Martha Gellhorn (correspondent during the Spanish Civil War, World War II and the Vietnam War); John Hersey (author of "Hiroshima"); George Polk (CBS Radio correspondent) and Ruben Salazar (first Mexican-American journalist to break into mainstream media).
Sevareid worked for CBS for 38 years and was one of "the Murrow boys," print reporters assembled by Edward R. Murrow to report on World War II via radio.
