Skyview Networks Managing Editor Steve Clawson Dies
RADIO ONLINE | Thursday, May 18, 2023 |
Sad to report that Skyview Networks Managing Editor and anchor Steve Clawson has died. He was a broadcast journalist for more than 34 years. After beginning his career at WTRX in Flint, MI, he came to Arizona where he was a radio journalist at KTAR and KFYI, an assignment editor at Fox's KSAZ, a producer at PBS's KAET, and whose voice was prominently featured in the 1989 award-winning documentary, "Roger and Me."
In 2018, Clawson joined Skyview Networks' Arizona and California News Radio teams, where he covered many news stories, including political elections and a recent interview with newly elected Arizona Governor, Katie Hobbs.
Clawson was a valued member of the news radio community. His coverage of politics and breaking news earned him many accolades, including his award-winning coverage of the Rodney King case and his twice-honored title of Arizona AP Radio Reporter of the Year for his work at KTAR. His career and reputation was built on his trustworthiness, work ethic, passion and always upbeat personality.
"In addition to being an outstanding broadcaster and journalist, Steve was a wonderful person, with a kind word and a smile for everyone he encountered," shared Skyview Networks Vice President, News Jeff Scott. "I feel incredibly lucky to have known him for more than three decades, and for having worked alongside him at KTAR, KSAZ, and for the past several years at Skyview Networks. Please keep Steve in your thoughts and know that we will do our very best to carry on his tradition of excellence and service."
