Shribman said being part of the newspaper’s coverage of the October massacre of 11 people at a Pittsburgh synagogue was a “memorable but wrenching end” to his career.
Following the killings, he crafted a front-page headline in Hebrew that quoted the first words of the Jewish mourner’s prayer. It received worldwide recognition.
His long career in journalism included winning a Pulitizer Prize for political coverage at the Boston Globe.
