PETER JENNINGS AND THE DEMISE OF THE NETWORK NEWS
Peter Jennings, the face of ABC News for decades, passed away yesterday at his New York home. He was 67. The urbane Canadian-born broadcaster announced in April that he had lung cancer. Along with Tom Brokaw and Dan Rather, Jennings was part of a triumvirate that dominated network news for more than two decades, through the birth of cable news and the Internet. Larry talks with Howard Rosenberg, former L.A. Times television critic, about Jennings' career and the future of the network news anchor.
