Peter Jennings is the anchor and senior editor of ABC's "World News Tonight" where he has established a reputation for independence and excellence in broadcast journalism. He is the network's principal anchor for breaking news, election coverage and special events.

As one of America's most distinguished journalists, Peter Jennings has reported many of the pivotal events that have shaped our world. He was in Berlin in the 1960s when the Berlin Wall was going up, and there in the '90s when it came down. He covered the civil rights movement in the southern United States during the 1960s, and the struggle for equality in South Africa during the 1970s and '80s. He was there when the Voting Rights Act was signed in 1965, and on the other side of the world when South Africans voted for the first time. He has worked in every European nation that once was behind the Iron Curtain. He was there when the independent political movement Solidarity was born in a Polish shipyard, and again when Poland's communist leaders were forced from power. And he was in Hungary, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Romania and throughout the Soviet Union to record first the repression of communism and then its demise. He was one of the first reporters who went to Vietnam in the 1960s, and went back to the killing fields of Cambodia in the 1980s to remind Americans that, unless they did something, the terror would return.

Wow just 2 months ago i was making jokes about him in American History.

Peter Jennings was that dude when it came to News Broadcasting (Except Tom Brokaw and Dan Rather).

Sorry bring this topic back but it sucks he died. However, does anyone even watch the "normal channels" for news anymore? What I mean is, who watches NBC or ABC for news? Everyone watches Fox News or CNN.

R.I.P

I know he was from Canada, I'm not sure about London.

He's both from London and Canada... there's a city named London in Ontario, Canada

He's both from London and Canada... there's a city named London in Ontario, Canada

I never knew he was Canadian until he passed away. I used to watch him on ABC sometimes.. shocking that he's dead.. didnt even look that old.
