It was exactly one month ago that Gail Shister entered the race to be “first” to call Walter Cronkite’s pending death. I almost wrote a blog post last week wondering whether Shister felt at all macabre that the “most trusted man in America” was still alive, until I realized it would conflict with an earlier post I wrote.
NPR has an excellent obituary that I recommend you read. Also, check out Haikuku’s ode to Cronkite. I’ve missed journalists of his caliber for years, so my mourning is tempered.
