I remember Sarah-Ann Shaw from the days when local TV news could actually be taken seriously. R.I.P to both Ms. Shaw and to serious local news journalism. All it's good for now is for people who want the infotainment of wall to wall snow coverage.
Thank You.

Mother Shaw for your love of Roxbury and always reflecting our community in a positive light.
You are our hero, architect and beacon, We are all better because of you.
Condolences to the family and all love to Ms. Klare.
WBZ deserves a lot of credit.

Growing up, we were always a WBZ family, even though we were closer to Providence and got their channels too. Our small Southeastern Massachusetts town (pop. about 10,000) had precisely one black family, and one black student in our high school class of 349. I think WBZ introducing us to trailblazers like Sarah-Ann Shaw, Charles Austin, and Liz Walker, truly made a big difference in race relations and representation.
RIP, Ms Shaw.
Great lady
