Dean Borg: Model journalist, welcoming leader

I will never forget Dean Borg, for myriad reasons.But one reason stands above the rest.Dean Borg, the longtime host of “Iowa Press,” Iowa PBS’ flagship public affairs program, died March 22 from complications caused by pancreatic cancer. He was 81 years old.Borg was the consummate journalist. A pro’s pro. Everything you wanted in a reporter.But I will forever remember him for the kindness and openness he showed a print reporter making his television debut while still relatively new to his job.Borg still was hosting “Iowa Press” when I was first invited to contribute to the show in early 2015.
