He was not of our generation,  but he was and is a model of how journalist should act, and how news should be presented.

damn, Cronkite was a huge deal for other generations, I did a project on him in like 6th grade, he was such an important icon for reporting the news since the 50s

Judging by the response to this thread, I guess everyone is already becoming numb to celebrity deaths. Sorry Walter, looks like you missed the cut. RIP.
