NEW YORK -- Peter Jennings, the broadcaster who delivered the news to Americans each night in five separate decades, has died. He was 67.
Jennings, who announced in April that he had lung cancer, died at his New York home, ABC News President David Westin said late Sunday.
With Tom Brokaw and Dan Rather, Jennings was part of a triumvirate that dominated network news for more than two decades. His smooth delivery and years of international reporting experience made Jennings particularly popular among urban dwellers.
Jennings was the face of ABC News whenever a big story broke. He logged more than 60 hours on the air during the week of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, offering a soothing sense of continuity during a troubled time. |

BY Anonymous on Oct 14, 2005 | | | | My heart cries for all those who lost their lives, at the devastation caused by this worst disaste, and sufferings of those who survived. May God give patience to those who survived. Pakistani people, Pakistani Army and the government are doing great job. This is not an easy task. Hang in there and you are doing the superb job. Government and people of Pakistan together can do impossible jobs. Pakistan is in my thoughts and prayers.
