Walter Cronkite passed away today at the age of 92. He was an excellent journalist. Growing up in the 60s he was a visible feature as he reported the news. Oh, the history he saw and reported. He actually shed tears but remained professionally composed when he was reporting the assassination of John F. Kennedy. I guess he could be considered "America's grandfather" as he knew how to maintain calm in a stressful situation. His voice was articulate; if anyone would record the history of civilization, his would have been the voice to choose. Future broadcasting students should study his news reports and listen to his delivery. He was and will always be a living textbook in the area of broadcast journalism.
