Hanna Zoey Tur (born Robert Albert Tur ; June 8, 1960) is an American broadcast reporter and commercial pilot who created Los Angeles News Service with fellow reporter and then–wife Marika Gerrard. Los Angeles News Service was the first to use an AStar helicopter in a major city to cover breaking news, and the first to televise a high-speed police chase. Tur's other noteworthy reporting included the attack on Reginald Denny during the 1992 Los Angeles riots and finding the crash site of Pacific Southwest Airlines Flight 1771. Tur was also the first to broadcast O.J. Simpson's slow-speed chase on June 17, 1994. As a team, Tur and Gerrard received three Television News Emmy Awards and Edward R. Murrow Awards for broadcast excellence, an Associated Press National Breaking News award; and The National Press Photographers Association (NPPA) Humanitarian Award.
