Peter Jennings

For over two decades, Peter Jennings was the face of ABC`s World News Tonight program, and he guided America through wars, political conventions and campaigns, assassinations, and the events of September 11, 2001. PETER JENNINGS: A REPORTER`S LIFE presents remembrances of Jennings by his colleagues, as well as samples of his own reporting from around the world, including some memorable Middle East stories. Together, they convey the scope and depth of Jennings`s interests and the high standards he set for television news reporting. Jennings announced on the air that he had cancer, and his passing in 2005 is seen as the end of an era of broadcast journalism in which anchors were strong personalities and even stronger reporters.
