NYC VETERAN HIGH SCHOOL TCHR SAW YOUR STORY ABOUT EDUCATION IN CHINA TONIGHT AND WOULD INTERVIEW WITH AARON BROWN RE: STARK CONTRASTS IN NYCDOE SYSTEM!

We, too, feel like we have lost Aaron Brown for almost two years now. We just read the reply to an inquiry about him in our local paper saying he is on “Wide Angle” (until Aug. 19) but have yet to see him on our PBS station. We actually asked about him in person when were at the CNN studio in Manhatten in Sept. 2006. In an extremely brief, almost “brush off” style answer, we were told Aaron Brown had left CNN for “family reasons.” In the almost two years since then, we have not so much as seen his name anywhere until now. Aaron Brown was our favorite, most admired, CNN anchor. We hope his departure from CNN was his choice, not a CNN axe of some kind. We will try to find “Wide Angle” so we can enjoy more of his expert interviewing, and sincerely hope his series doesn’t end in August. (I’ve watched 3 of the 4 interviews you have posted on this website, and they are all very good.) I would appreciate a reply if there are any updates available on Aaron Brown’s future TV plans.

For Roz: In reference to your comment, it’s not surprising that you got that “brush off”. Although, only CNN and Aaron are the only ones (as it should be) who knows all the reasons that he is no longer with CNN, it seems to be a godsend. In my opinion, the suits at CNN didn’t like his “style” or that he only wanted to stick with honest to goodness news and stay away from “fluff” that is currently popular. Aaron is now teaching at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State University. From reading some comments he has made, it’s a job that he truly loves. Wide Angle also seems to be something that he likes, considering it’s not full-time and long hours. The program is only on for the summer. Hopefully PBS will want him to continue to anchor the program. If asked, I know there are alot of viewers that would want him to do so.

I stumbled onto Wide Angle tonight and recognized the voice of Aaron Brown! Yes, finally! The program was interesting and thoughtprovoking, as it would be if associated with Aaron Brown. He was my favorite journalist on CNN and I was very sad and confused when he disappeared from the CNN lineup. Hopefully, PBS will recognize credibility and integrity when it sees it and continue to provide the means to keep Brown as a continuing contributor beyond summer.

I do hope Aaron Brown is on PBS for the summer of 2009. If not I want to find out where he is He is one of few commentators who makes sense to me. I miss him greatly. Thank you
