  • Peter Jennings Still the No. 1 News Anchorman but Tom Brokaw Now in Virtual Tie for First Place
    The Harris Poll THE HARRIS POLL 1994 #16 For release: Monday, March 14, 1994 PETER JENNINGS STILL THE NO. 1 NEWS ANCHORMAN BUT TOM BROKAW NOW IN VIRTUAL TIE FOR FIRST PLACE By Humphrey Taylor The battle to be the nation's most popular TV news anchorman is now a virtual dead heat between Peter Jennings of ABC and Tom Brokaw of NBC. In 1992 and 1993, Peter Jennings was the clear favorite. In this latest Harris Poll, he has slipped a little and Tom Brokaw has increased his following. Dan Rather of CBS is in third place, but is strongly positioned to challenge the front runners if either were to slip. L These are the results of a Harris Poll of 1,252 adults surveyed between Feb. 2 and 6, 1994. In 1992 and 1993 Harris Polls, Peter Jennings was clearly the most popular anchor, eleven points (in 1992) and eight points (in 1993) ahead of his nearest rival. In those years, Brokaw and Rather were in a virtual tie for second place. Now 30 percent of all adults prefer Peter Jennings, 29 percent prefer Tom Brokaw and 24 percent prefer Dan Rather. Support for Bernard Shaw of CNN, which was always a long way behind that of the three network anchors, has slipped slightly. Only 10 percent of adults prefer him to the other three anchors, compared to 13 percent in 1992 and 12 percent in 1993.

  • Dan Rather, Freedom of Speech
    Freedom of Speech and Expression On this, the tenth day of October 2017, the Franklin D. Roosevelt Freedom of Speech and Expression Medal is awarded to: Dan Rather The ways in which we as Americans consume the news have changed profoundly over the course of your 67 years as an active journalist. New platforms have risen and fallen, government regulations of the media industry have shifted, and public attitudes toward the media and reporters have changed. But all throughout, you have been a North Star for our First Amendment; an individual of unwavering integrity who never stopped believing in the ability of the free press to amplify the truth, hold the powerful to account, and aid the public in making the most informed decisions possible. “Ratings,” you reminded us, “don’t last. Good journalism does.” You were born in East Texas during the Great Depression. A student journalist who became editor of your college newspaper, you went on to cover some of the defining events of American life in the second half of the twentieth century. The assassination of President Kennedy, the Challenger explosion, Watergate, the Iran- Contra scandals: When an event of national import took place, Americans could count on you to observe and relay the events with honesty, clarity, and verve. Your refusal to be bullied into silence during the Watergate scandal made you into a household name. You courageously stood against the most powerful man in the country when he lied to the American public, proving that the free press can hold the powers that be accountable.

    c01.qxd 6/9/06 2:41 PM Page 11 1 Thanks for the Memories The only man who wasn’t spoilt by being lionized was Daniel. —Herbert Beerbohm Tree n November 2004, CBS CEO Les Moonves and Dan Rather agreed that Rather would step out of the chair one year short of his twenty- Ififth anniversary as the Evening News anchorman. The Bush Memo- gate controversy provided Moonves with a convenient excuse to do what he wanted to do anyway: go younger. After all, Rather had just turned seventy-three, and the Evening News had been in third place for a decade. Talk of succession had gone on for years, but CBS News was so thin on talent, there was no one to replace Rather. When Moonves told reporters thatCOPYRIGHTED he no longer wanted the “Voice MATERIAL of God” to deliver the news, he knew, as did everyone else at CBS News, that there was no one on the roster with the gravitas to affect the Voice of God even if he had wanted one. For Moonves, Rather’s report on Bush’s National Guard service was the camel that broke the camel’s back. Rather had been involved with controversies before, but the firestorm from this one was simply too hot to 11 c01.qxd 6/9/06 2:41 PM Page 12 12 LONE STAR handle. The outrage triggered by the report was curious because it was not a new story. The same allegations about young Lieutenant Bush had been reported over and over again since at least 1999.
