Edward Kennedy Journalist
- Gender: Male
- Citizenship: United States
- Born: Jan 1, 1905
- Died: Nov 29, 1963
Edward Kennedy was a journalist best known for being the first Allied newsman to report the German surrender at the end of World War II, getting the word to the Associated Press in London before an official announcement was made. This angered Allied commanders who, for political reasons, had imposed a news embargo until the official surrender announcement. After being forced stateside, Kennedy was fired by the AP for his actions. In 2012, the Associated Press apologized for the incident, saying "It was handled in the worst possible way."
