Michael Malone, who covered the TV business for nearly two decades at Broadcasting & Cable and also wrote books and contributed to the the New York Times, has died. He was 55.
Dade Hayes of Deadline writes, “Malone died October 19 at Memorial Sloan Cancer Center in New York after a long illness.
“Widely known in TV industry circles, especially in the local broadcasting industry given his long tenure at B&C, Malone began his career there in 2005 as a reporter and rose to editor. He eventually was promoted to content director of B&C and its corporate siblings Multichannel News and NextTV.
“In online remembrances, former colleagues recalled Malone’s implacable wit and command of words. He often would draft headlines and coverlines for stories – crucial elements when print magazines ruled the media roost and could help define the personality of the trade publications landing on senior executives’ desks.”
