Walter Cronkite: The most trusted man in America

摘要

Walter cronkite was the most famous journalist of his time, the personification of success in his beloved profession, with all that brought with it: a journalism school named for him, a Presidential Medal of Freedom and the adulation of his peers and audience.rnYet I always had the feeling that if late in life someone had tapped him on the shoulder and said, "Walter, we're a little shorthanded this week. Think you could help us on the po-lice beat for a few mornings?" he would have responded, "Boy, oh, boy-when and where do you want me?"rnCronkite loved the news business, plain not fancy. Hernbegan as a teenage stringer for Houston newspapers and then made his way into radio before being hired by the United Press, the spunky cousin of the Associated Press.
