FOCUS: Remembering newspaperman Claude Sitton of Conyers

Long before Woodward and Bernstein inspired a generation of Baby Boomers to become journalists, Claude Sitton was setting the gold standard for journalism.

Sitton covered the civil rights movement for The New York Times from 1958 to 1964 and served as national editor of The Times until 1968. He died in Atlanta on March 10. He was 89.
