Jack Robertson, a pioneering journalists who covered the evolution of the high-tech manufacturing industry for decades, has died. I could tell stories of Jack's exploits, but my colleague, Mark LaPedus, semiconductor editor at EE Times, has done a fine job chronicling the ace journalist's exploits, complete with comments from numerous ex-colleagues.
Mark's report is available here.
Bolaji, thanks for posting this. I didn’t know the man, but knew his work. The report by Mark LaPedus is a touching tribute to Robertson’s work and life. He will be missed.
I had the privilege of working with Jack at EBN for nearly 7 years. Like Lew Young, he always had time to nudge a rookie reporter in the right direction. His stories on being in foreign news bureaus duing the “old days” were classic. We were all better for having worked with Jack.
He made a great contribution to this industry. May he rest in peace.
