Walter Leland Cronkite, Jr. is a now-retired broadcast journalist, best known as the iconic anchorman for CBS Evening News (1962-81) ? which became American television?s first nightly half-hour news program during his tenure. Currently, Walter Cronkite’s voice can be heard announcing CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric at the beginning of the news broadcast.

For many years, he was considered one of the most trusted figures in the United States, often cited in viewer opinion polls as “the most trusted man in America.” Affectionately known as “Uncle Walter”, he covered many of the important news events of the era so effectively that his image and voice are closely associated with the Cuban missile crisis, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the Vietnam War, the Apollo 11 Moon landing, and the Watergate scandal.
