The New Orleans Saints and New Orleans Pelicans join the community in mourning the passing of Eric Paulsen, a beloved figure in local broadcasting. Paulsen, whose remarkable career spanned five decades, was a fixture in the lives of New Orleanians as the top-rated morning news anchor and reporter for WWL Louisiana for over 40 years.
His dedication to journalism and the city of New Orleans made him one of the country's longest-tenured broadcasters, and his impact on the community will not be forgotten. Eric's warm presence and commitment to sharing the stories of our city touched the hearts of many.
The Saints and Pelicans extend their deepest condolences to Eric's family, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time. He will be remembered not only for his contributions to television but also for his genuine love for the people of New Orleans.
