Maria Mercader, CBS News veteran, dies at 54
Maria Mercader, whose work at CBS News helped deliver the division’s breaking news from the U.S. and around the world to viewers, died Sunday due to coronavirus, CBS News said. She was 54 years old and had been on medical leave for an unrelated matter since the last week in February.
CBS News said Mercader fought cancer and related illnesses for more than 20 years, and noted that numerous treatments and surgeries had left her among the most vulnerable to the disease.“Even more than her talents as a journalist, we will miss her indomitable spirit,” said Susan Zirinsky, CBS News president and senior executive producer, in a statement. “Maria was part of all of our lives.
In her most recent role, director of talent strategy, Mercader helped spearhead CBS News’ workplace diversity efforts. She was active in coordinating the news unit’s participation in the Asian American Journalists Association, the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association and the National Association of Black Journalists.
Maria Carla Mercader was born November 28, 1965 in New York City. She attended the all-girls Dominican Academy in Manhattan and went on to graduate from the College of New Rochelle in 1987, when she joined the CBS Page Program. She began her career at CBS Newspath, where she learned the ropes producing news packages for CBS affiliate distribution.
