A Conversation with Walter Cronkite

Monday, March 31, 3:30 ­ 5:00 p.m. PT

One of the most revered named in broadcast news, Walter Cronkite has spent more than sixty years as a journalist ­ over forty years at CBS News. He has covered D-Day, the Nuremberg Trials, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the civil rights movement, the Vietnam War, the moon landing, and Watergate. Cronkite anchored CBS political and convention coverage from 1952 to 1980 and hosted the CBS Evening News from 1962 to 1981. Cronkite will review both his own extraordinary career in radio and television and the evolution of electronic news from the pre-television days to today's world of twenty-four hour cable news networks.

This seminar is a William S. Paley Annual Lecture. This lecture, the ninth in a series honoring William S. Paley, Founder of CBS, has been generously underwritten by the CBS Foundation.
