News is people and pictures and storytelling and simple truths.
Since he joined ABC7 in 1991, Freedman has taken viewers to Russia in the dead of winter and down Route 66 in the heat of summer. He is best known, perhaps, for providing viewers with a continuing stream of California eclectics, for bringing out their eccentricities and also their commonalities. An award-winning reporter, Freedman has received 41 Emmys, including 11 for writing. In addition, he's garnered nine Associated Press and six United Press Awards, as well as nine Radio and Television News Directors awards and a Mark Twain award. His career includes time with TV stations in Kentucky and Dallas, Texas.
