PBS announced on Monday the death of Gwen Ifill, the veteran journalist and co-anchor of PBS' "NewsHour" with Judy Woodruff. She was 61. A former newspaper reporter, Ifill switched to television and worked for NBC News and PBS. During her career, she moderated two vice presidential debates. Ifill took a leave from her nightly show for health reasons earlier this year, never making public her illness. According to Access Hollywood, just last week she went out on leave again, which took her away from election night coverage. PBS "NewsHour" executive producer Sara Just called Ifill "a standard bearer for courage, fairness and integrity in an industry going through seismic change."
