Harold Dow (September 28, 1947 – August 21, 2010) was an American television news correspondent, journalist, and investigative reporter with CBS News.
Harold Dow was married to Kathy Dow. They had three children together: Danica, Joelle, David.
Dow was born in Hackensack, New Jersey. He attended the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Dow had been a correspondent for the CBS TV investigative news series 48 Hours since 1990, after having served as a contributor to the broadcast since its premiere on January 1988. He had been a contributing correspondent for 48 Hours on Crack Street, the critically acclaimed 1986 documentary that led to the single-topic weekly news magazine. Dow conducted the first network interview (for 48 Hours) with O. J. Simpson following the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman.
Dow's reports garnered him numerous awards. He was honored with a George Foster Peabody Award for his 48 Hours report on runaways and a Robert F. Kennedy Award for a report on public housing. He received five Emmy Awards, including one for a story on the American troops' movement into Bosnia (1996) and one for "distinguished reporting" for his coverage of the Pan Am Flight 103 disaster (1989). He won an RTNDA Edward R. Murrow Award, and an Operation Push Excellence in Journalism Award for a 48 Hours profile of Patti LaBelle. He was also recently recognized by the National Association of Black Journalists for his report about Medgar Evers, which was featured in the CBS News special "Change and Challenge: The Inauguration of Barack Obama."
Dow covered many stories, including 9/11, during which he barely escaped one of the falling Twin Towers; the return of POW's from Vietnam; and the kidnapping of Patricia Hearst, with whom he had an exclusive interview in December 1976.
