Peter Jennings was a Consummate Man

I adored Peter Jennings. He loved his work. He loved his colleagues. He loved his family. It showed.
On The Larry King Show tribute to Jennings they aired clips showing him diligently checking the accuracy of stories, rewriting the news he was to speak, keeping his colleagues on track–his track.
Jennings was no talking head. He wanted to control every word that came out of his mouth because he knew how important it was to communicate directly to his audience as precisely as possible. Something else I admire: he didn’t pretend he didn’t have a bias.
