“Perhaps Mike Wallace for investigative reporting. [Edward R.] Murrow and [Walter] Cronkite created the roadmap for storytelling and anchoring. While [Tom] Brokaw, [Peter] Jennings, [Dan] Rather, et al., are doing excellent work, they are simply following the path laid out by Murrow and Cronkite.”

“It is impossible to know, when we as a culture have not broadened the base of who we consider `authoritative’ and `trustworthy.’ Decades after Murrow and Cronkite, white males are generally the standard by which we measure such characteristics.”
Dana King, co-anchor, KPIX-TV (CBS), San Francisco
