A Reporter's Life by Walter Cronkite


Amazon.com
Awash as we are these days in prurient and sensational tabloid TV journalism, A Reporter's Life is a refreshing story of the medium's heyday, when newspeople comported themselves with dignity and earned their audience's respect. During his 31-year tenure at CBS News, Walter Cronkite set the standard for integrity and compassion. In this autobiography, Cronkite turns his reporter's eye on his own life and times, providing a wealth of details about both his public and private sides. He describes his childhood in Kansas City, how he met his wife--and how she almost missed the wedding! We learn of his love of auto racing and sailing; and, of course, Cronkite delivers behind-the-camera stories from the earliest days of TV news, when no one knew just what to do and so they made it up as they went along.
