Walter Cronkite

Walter Cronkite was more than just a news anchor. He was a guide for the country through some of our most historic events. He helped us understand the events that were shaping history. He was the model many of us who grew up with him wanted to follow into broadcasting. Walter Cronkite set the bar that all who have followed in broadcasting have yet to reach.

And he was from the heartland of America.

Michael Jackson may well have been the best entertainer that ever lived.
But Walter Cronkite was arguably the best journalist, certainly the most trusted.
Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to matter as much.
