Synopsis
After 60 years as a journalist covering major events in America's history, Walter Cronkite reflects on his incredible life and career. Cronkite's belief in quality television serves as a refreshing contrast to the declining value of the medium in the latter part of the 20th century.

Industry Reviews
"He proudly describes how he earned his spurs in print, with service on newspapers in Houston and Kansas City, Mo., and with United Press International. His most vivid writing involves his apprenticeship in city rooms and his coverage of combat during World War II. Those stories benefit form a memory still infused with the enthusiasm of a young man learning his craft while immersed in the defining events of his generation."
Los Angeles Times Book Review - Warren Olney (01/12/1997)
"['A Reporter's Life' is] the story of a modest man who succeeded extravagantly by remaining mostly himself--succeeded in a demanding new medium, itself part of an exploding technology that made the world more complex...And not unlike journalism itself, his memoir is a short course on the flow of events in the second half of this century--events the world knows more about because of Walter Cronkite's work, and some of which might not have happened without it."
New York Times Book Review - Tom Wicker (01/26/1997)
"...part schoolboy chronicle of a life spent in zealous, single-minded pursuit of breaking news, part state memoir of a journalistic bigfoot."
Yardley
"Cronkite bears out our trust in him as he bears wise witness to our collective adventures of the past half-century; he endears himself anew when he good-humoredly shares his own."
Yardley
