NY1, a New York City-based television station, has announced the death of Ruschell Boone, an award-winning reporter and anchor who had been battling pancreatic cancer for the past year. Boone joined the station in 2002 and was known for her coverage of the city’s diverse immigrant communities, and her passion for telling stories and connecting with people. Her death has been met with an outpouring of grief and support from her colleagues and viewers, and NY1 said they will “continue to honor her memory and her commitment to journalism.”
