Edwards, a consummate newsman, hosted NPR's morning show for more than two decades. 'He sort of set the tone and the bar for all of us,' says one former NPR executive.
When listeners first heard that voice, they might have imagined a figure of great authority, an avuncular newsman dressed in a pinstripe suit. But that wasproduction assistant. Now CEO of WBUR in Boston, she served for three years as NPR's senior vice president for news. She says Edwards always walked in the door right at 2:30 a.m., but he was casual.
Low says Edwards' seeming casualness belied a seriousness — about radio, about the news and especially about the art of writing. Like several of his contemporaries at NPR, he studied writing at American University with former CBS journalist Ed Bliss.In fact, Edwards' Washington, D.C., office overlooked CBS News.
"We had five good — if rocky — years together, until we sort of got one another's rhythm, because he was Mr. Cool, he was Mr. Authoritative and straight ahead. I was the New Yorker with a million ideas and a big laugh. But we really adjusted rather well."
