Brian Williams: Our industry lost its living giant

NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams issued a statement describing the impact the late Walter Cronkite had on his life:

On a personal note, Walter Cronkite was the man I grew up wanting to be. Our household, like many, came to a halt when his broadcast came on the air each night, and dinner was served only after he said good night. Knowing Walter was among the great blessings of my life."
