CBS News veteran video editor Mark Ludlow dies at 63 after brief battle with cancer

CBS News lost a beloved family member over the weekend. Mark Jeremy Ludlow, a veteran video editor based in our London bureau, died peacefully on Sunday surrounded by family and friends. Ludlow, as most of us called him, was 63. He died after a relatively brief battle with cancer.

Former CBS News anchor Dan Rather, in a final note to Ludlow, said he was "one of the very best television news editors of this or any other generation," and called it an "honor to have you as a friend and colleague."

Ludlow started editing for NBC News in the early 1980's, following in the footsteps of his father, videographer Ken Ludlow.
