If someone were to to ask me “who was the man who defined the job tv news anchorman?” it would be Walter Cronkite..bar none. While we never had never met we had a connection…we were both fascinated by the space program…so it’s ironic that Cronkite passed away exactly 40 years after the flight of Apollo 11
According to CBS News “At one time, his audience was so large, and his image so credible, that a 1972 poll determined he was “the most trusted man in America” – surpassing even the president, vice president, members of Congress and all other journalists. In a time of turmoil and mistrust, after Vietnam and Watergate, the title was a rare feat – and the label stuck.”
