Walter Cronkite


Journalists in the Wild:

The journalists that I decided to pick for this blog post is Walter Cronkite. I picked him because according to bibology.com, “The hallmarks of his style were honesty, impartiality and level-headedness, and “And that's the way it is” was his jaunty nightly sign-off”. Now my question is did he get this legend for always being honest? What if he wasn’t but he made thousands even millions of people to believe him. Everything that he did in his life which you can learn more at https://www.biography.com/people/walter-cronkite-9262057, is because he provided a voice to the upper class and he did not hid anything. Walter told the truth no matter if it hurt someone’s feelings. Just with him doing that and staying with “that’s the way it is” moto, it gave the citizens a peace of mind and knowing that their concerned could get addressed like during the Vietnam and Watergate era.
