Bill Cunningham (born 1932)〔"Still passionate after all these years: Bill Cunningham is as full of contradictions and opinions as television itself, the medium he has worked in since l954". ''The Globe and Mail'', October 12, 1993.〕 is a former Canadian television journalist, who was associated at different times in his career with the CTV, CBC and Global networks.〔"Laid-off W5 reporter Cunningham wins praise as TV news 'sparkplug'". ''Vancouver Sun'', April 6, 1991.〕 Originally from Yarmouth, Nova Scotia,〔 he began his journalism career in 1954,〔 working for the ''Times & Transcript'', local radio stations in New Brunswick, and Broadcast News before joining the CBC.〔 He was executive producer of ''The National'' in the 1960s, and spearheaded the change in CBC's policies which saw the position of anchor transferred from a voice announcer to an actual professional journalist, resulting in Stanley Burke succeeding Earl Cameron as anchor of the program in 1965.〔Horace Newcomb, ''Encyclopedia of Television''. Routledge, 2014. ISBN 9781579583941. p. 406.〕 He was CBC Television's Vietnam War correspondent in the late 1960s,〔("Shooting Wars" ). ''Ryerson Review of Journalism'', Spring 1984.〕 and was promoted to head of network news by 1972.〔 After just a year in that job, however, he left to head the news department at the fledgling Global network, holding that role until 1980.〔 He then moved to CTV as executive producer of ''W5'', and moved back into an on-air role with that series in 1983.〔 In 1991, he was laid off from CTV as part of a decision to refocus ''W5'' more squarely on journalist Eric Malling.〔 He then returned to the CBC as a foreign correspondent and host of documentary programming for CBC Newsworld and Newsworld International.〔 He is currently a media spokesperson for Dying with Dignity, a Canadian assisted suicide advocacy organization. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bill Cunningham (journalist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
