Funeral services for CNNfn Senior Correspondent Steve Young, who died on Sunday after a long battle with lung cancer, are being held today (Wednesday) in New York City.

Young, 61, joined CNN in 1987 after twenty years at CBS News.

Lou Dobbs, Anchor and Managing Editor of Lou Dobbs Moneyline, said: "Steve was a true broadcast professional. He was a newsman who did some of the most important work of the last decade. From his reporting on the dangers of cellphones to his tireless pursuit of Microsoft and the Justice Department's Antitrust case, to the threat of terrorism to the nation's Nuclear Power plants, Steve did some of the most timely and significant reporting on the network. All of us who worked with Steve will miss him."
