Denise D’Ascenzo ek prasiddh American news anchor thi, jinhone journalism ki duniya mein apni ek alag pehchaan banayi. Unka janm 30 January 1958 ko Washington, D.C. mein hua tha aur ve 7 December 2019 ko apni mrityu tak ek safal patrakar rahi. Unhone apna adhikansh career WFSB-TV, Hartford, Connecticut mein bitaya, jaha ve 33 varsh tak mukhya news anchor bani rahi. Unki achanak mrityu ne unke parivaar, mitron aur unke anek darshakon ko sadma pahunchaya.

Jab Denise D’Ascenzo ka nidhan hua, tab unke parivaar ne unke antim sanskar sambandhi vivaron ko gopniya rakha. Aaj bhi yah spasht nahi hai ki unka dafan kaha kiya gaya ya unki asthiyan kaha visarjit ki gayi. Unki mrityu ke turant baad, unke parivaar ne sirf itna bataya ki unka nidhan prakritik karanon se hua tha, parantu unki antim vidai ko lekar adhik jaankari janta ke samaksh nahi rakhi gayi. Yeh unke parivaar ki ek vyaktigat ichha thi, jise sabhi ne samman diya.

Denise ne apne patrakarita jeevan ki shuruaat Syracuse University se ki thi, jaha se unhone apni padhai puri ki. Uske baad ve WIXT-TV mein ek weather reporter ke roop mein judi. Dheere-dheere unhone apni pehchaan ek safal anchor aur journalist ke roop mein banayi. KSDK-TV, St. Louis aur WJKW-TV, Cleveland jaise bade news networks mein kaam karne ke baad, unhone WFSB-TV join kiya, jaha ve apni antim sans tak judi rahi.

Unke yogdan aur mehnat ko sammaan dete hue, unhe anek puruskar mile. Unhone 11 Emmy Awards jeete, jisme ek Lifetime Achievement Award bhi shamil tha. Unke saath kaam karne wale log unhe ek dayalu, imaandaar aur mehnati patrakar ke roop mein yaad karte hain. Connecticut rajya ki janta ke beech unki ek alag jagah thi, kyunki ve sirf ek news anchor nahi, balki ek vishwasniya awaaz thi jo sachai aur imaandari se samachar prastut karti thi.

Jab unki mrityu hui, to Connecticut ki sarkar ne unke samman mein 30 December 2019 ko “Denise D’Ascenzo Day” ke roop mein manane ki ghoshna ki. Yeh unke yogdan aur lokpriyata ka ek prateek hai. Unke samkalin patrakar aur anek darshak aaj bhi unhe yaad karte hain.

Halanki, unke antim sanskar ki sthiti spasht nahi hai, lekin unka yogdan, unki yaadein aur unka prabhav journalism ki duniya mein hamesha bana rahega. Unki kahani ek prerna hai jo naye patrakaron aur samachar jagat se jude logon ko imaandari aur samarpan ki seekh deti hai.
