Walter Cronkite Signs Off


After reports of American broadcaster Walter Cronkite being gravely ill, the NYTimes twitter has reported the legendary anchorman's death at 92 years of age. (Though no major news websites are confirming the death just yet.) Cronkite defined CBS news during the crucial dates of American history, including the civil rights movement, the Vietnam War, and the impeachment of Richard Nixon. A part of journalism has been buried today; you will be missed sir, but certainly not forgotten for your impact in this world.
