Award-winning journalist Michael Aron has passed away at the age of 78. Known for a majority of his career as a trusted reporter of New Jersey politics, Aron was a fixture in the Trenton press corps and respected by those representatives he scrutinized on both sides of the aisle.
“Few journalists ever garner the widespread level of respect Michael Aron achieved,” said Neal Shapiro, The WNET Group president and CEO. “He earned it with an unbiased, methodical and unwavering investigative style examining the issues, policies and stakeholders affecting state residents. He was one of a kind and will be missed. However, his standards and practices live on in the NJ Spotlight News newsroom and continue to inspire our staff today.”
