Eric Adams, mayor of New York City, presented the key to New York City to Jewish broadcaster Marvin Scott, whom he called \u201ca giant of news and journalism,\u201d on Friday.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s just a perfect New Yorker, I would like to say,\u201d Adams said. \u201cSense of humor, dedicated, committed, a man whose voice has echoed across the five boroughs and across the globe for generations.\u201d<\/p>\n
A member of the New York State Broadcaster Hall of Fame and the Bronx Jewish Hall of Fame, Scott is a 14-time Emmy Award winner.<\/p>\n
\u201cA son of the Bronx,\u201d Scott \u201cstarted his love of the news at a young age with just his camera, his wits and determination,\u201d Adams said. \u201cHe chased stories across the city, selling his first news photo of a raging fire to New York Daily News at the tender age of 14.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFor six decades, Marvin has shown a light on what is happening in our streets, across our nation and across the globe,\u201d the mayor said. \u201cAnd he has done it with courage, integrity and a dedication to the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n
Scott has reported from the \u201cfront lines of Iraq, Afghanistan and Cambodia,\u201d as well as on the \u201cCivil Rights Movement, where he covered JFK and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,\u201d according to the mayor.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom interviewing six U.S. presidents and global figures like Golda Meir to reporting on the U.S. space program in a three-mile nuclear disaster,\u201d he said. \u201cFrom covering every New York City mayor since John Lindsay, and he would clearly tell you that he covered them all, but I am his favorite.\u201d<\/p>\n
Scott said that \u201creceiving this key to the city, the city where I was born, grew up, spent my entire career as a broadcast journalist and told some of the greatest stories of my life\u2014it\u2019s an extraordinary honor.\u201d<\/p>\n
