About Rowland Evans
Rowland Evans Jr. was an American journalist. He was known best for his decades-long syndicated column and television partnership with Robert Novak, a partnership that endured, if only by way of a joint subscription newsletter, until Evans's death. They founded the "Evans-Novak Political Report" in 1967, four years after they had launched their nationally syndicated column. The team was among the first to join the fledgling CNN, with Evans & Novak becoming one of the cable network's best-watched discussion programs. Novak reported that Kennedy had his first dinner as president-elect with Evans. Al Hunt and Mark Shields later joined the show as Evans scaled back his on-air work, and the title became Evans, Novak, Hunt & Shields.
