We All Followed His Script

by Aaron Brown

I was inspired to get into broadcast journalism 
by Walter Cronkite. He taught me once I was 
there. And now I’m proud to share his lessons and 
carry his name forward to the next generation.

In an odd way Walter Cronkite bookends my 
professional life. Lots of people knew him far 
better: his colleagues at CBS all those years, 
his family and his small staff in his later 
years. But Walter-­ as he insisted that I call 
him-­ was there for me at the beginning of my 
professional life, there for me on the most 
important day, and still there now in the students I teach.
