This Was Peter Jennings... Good Night
ABC News has reported that Peter Jennings, the face of the network's nightly news program for more than 20 years and a reporter for nearly four decades, died Sunday of lung cancer. He was 67.
Peter Jennings was a damn good reporter, a calming and reassuring presence during times of crisis, and had a career worthy of both respect and envy (at least from those of us who are in communications).
You'll be missed, Peter. Thank you and good night.
Comments
With the retirement of Brokaw and the demise of Rather, Jennings was positioned to become the senior anchor on American TV. Its too bad that it was snatched away from him (anthough I continue to hold his Disney bosses in complete contempt).
