Shaw started his career as a reporter for Chicago’s WNUS in 1964. Between 1971 and 1977, he worked as a correspondent for the CBS News Washington Bureau.
Before taking the position of Senior Capitol Hill Correspondent at ABC News in 1978, he joined the network in 1977 as a Latin American correspondent and bureau chief.
In 1980, Shaw left ABC to join CNN as a co-anchor of its PrimeNews program, which was broadcast from Washington, D.C.
At a crucial juncture in CNN’s survival as a credible news outlet, Shaw’s coverage of the 1981 attempt to assassinate American president Ronald Reagan is credited with helping to establish CNN as a trustworthy and respectable broadcast news source.
