A funeral service for legendary Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee will be held next Wednesday at the National Cathedral.
The service, which is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m., will be open to the public. Space will be set aside for current and former employees of the paper, according to the Post.
Tributes to Bradlee, who led the Post through Watergate and the Pentagon Papers, continued to pour in today. Secretary of State John Kerry called the journalism legend, who died Tuesday at age 93, “America’s Editor-in-Chief.”
“Ben put his own brand on journalism and it was big, bold, and unapologetic,” Kerry said in a statement. “He invented the modern newsroom. He cared about the Post as an institution and he cared about its people. He made independence in reporting the norm, not the exception.”
