Goodbye to a legend

I just returned home and saw the news that legendary news anchor Walter Cronkite has passed away at the youthful age of 92.

Read the New York Times article on his impact. When he spoke, people listened to him as an honest, credible source of information. While there was no 24-hour news cycle back then, he was the newsmaker each day.

He wasn’t flashy, but someone who instilled trust in those who watched him. He was more than just a talking head.

All journalists took lessons from the ways he changed broadcast; everyone wished they had his candor. Goodbye Mr. Cronkite and thank you for improving our art.
