So Long, Uncle Walter

Walter Cronkite, the most trusted man in America, dies.

The Times has an Obit, and a measure of his cultural impact.

Kara Swisher, whose coverage of the Tech and Media industries I admire, posts an appreciation for his integrity and seeks to learn a lesson for today's tumultuous media landscape.

In my brief time at CBS News, well after Cronkite retired, I greatly appreciated the standards of Journalism that his generation of reporters embodied.
