Peter Jennings on Journalists integrity and his role.

Peter Jennings was a Canadian-American journalist who served as the sole anchor of ABC World News Tonight from 1983 until his death from lung cancer in 2005. Despite dropping out of high school, he transformed himself into one of American television's most prominent journalists. I knew Peter and his first wife, Kati Marton personally. His loss was devastating to so many. Jennings anchored ABC's coverage of the September 11 attacks for 17 straight hours, an effort described as "Herculean" by television critics. In October 2006, The Walt Disney Company, which bought ABC in 1996, posthumously named Jennings a Disney Legend, the company's highest honor. He was the first ABC News employee so honored.

He brings memories from my childhood were reporting was very much different. A sense of honor🎖 integrity and honesty towards providing clarity in character

Thanks for sharing, Eileen - Peter was one of the greatest news anchors of our time, and even 16 years after his death he's still missed very much. BTW what year is this clip from?
