Obituary
Joan Snyder, former CBS News producer and correspondent, died Sept. 9 in Manhattan after a long illness. She was 69.
In a nearly 30-year career, Snyder worked as a writer and producer for CBS News legends Walter Cronkite, Mike Wallace, Dan Rather and the late Charles Kuralt.
After graduating from City College of New York, Snyder got a job at the Newark bureau of United Press International in 1958. Joining CBS News in 1961, she earned a producing role on Saturday and Sunday editions of the CBS Evening News and became one of the first women to go out with camera crews to cover stories. After her first on-camera interview in 1972, she became a producer/correspondent.
She joined CBS News Sunday Morning in 1987 and reported, wrote and produced features and profiles. In 1991, she worked as a freelance producer for Time-Warner, Fox and WCBS(TV).
Snyder is survived by two half-brothers, Robert and Kenneth Snyder, and her stepmother, Catherine Snyder.
