Uma Pemmaraju, a founding anchor for Fox News, is being remembered as “an incredibly talented journalist” by colleagues and former co-workers after her death this week at the age of 64.
“I was so sad to hear. @UmaPemmaraju was a beautiful person inside & out,” former Arkansas governor and Fox News contributor Mike Huckabee tweeted. “Talented and kind. A cherished friend.”
Pemmaraju was at Fox News when it launched on Oct. 7, 1996, anchoring “Fox News Now” and “Fox on Trends.” At the time, she was one of the few Indian American anchors on national television.
