Just before Christmas, FOX News Media announced that two of its staffers had passed away. Director of Chicago bureau operations Adam Petlin passed away at 58 after a long illness. He was a FOX News
original, starting with the company in August of 1996 as one of the first six field photographers hired. He led the first FOX camera crew on scene in downtown Manhattan on September 11th and captured the devastation that immediately unfolded that day, delivering the very news that changed the world to millions of viewers. The organization also lost Matt Napolitano, who passed away after a brief illness at age 33. Napolitano began his FOX career in 2015 as a writer for SiriusXM news channel FOX News Headlines 24/7. He soon became a sports reporter for the service and further excelled in that position. He also appeared on FOX Business Network’s “Cavuto Coast to Coast.”
