‘Consummate’ journalist and former CNN reporter passes away

In addition to working as a correspondent, Loory also oversaw CNN bureaus in Washington and Moscow. He later became a vice president of Turner Broadcasting.

But it hardly sums up his life, which was about following his passion for a good story to various points on the map.

“He was the consummate journalist,” said his son, Josh Loory, who also became a news producer.

He wanted to look out for the downtrodden, Josh Loory said. “He liked to shine the light of the media where it needed to be shined.”

He is survived by his wife and three children.
