Ina Jaffe, an NPR correspondent for roughly 40 years who was known for her unflinching approach to journalism and was the first editor of the network’s initial iteration of the weekly national news show “Weekend Edition Saturday,” died on Thursday.
NPR confirmed her death in an article, which did not say where she died.
Ms. Jaffe had been living with metastatic breast cancer for several years.
Often described by colleagues as a “reporter’s reporter,” Ms. Jaffe had a keen sense of the line separating the equitable and the unjust.
In addition to “Weekend Edition,” she contributed stories for the daily afternoon news program “All Things Considered.”
