Cronkite School Kicks Off Year With Cronkite Film

A look back at American Masters is the way it will be Sept. 2.

In 1984, Arizona State University’s Department of Journalism and Telecommunication was elevated from department to school status and named the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Telecommunication. In 2006, PBS’ American Masters profiled the namesake CBS newsman as a “Witness to History.”

Tomorrow night, at the outset of this new school year, the twain shall meet in the form of a screening of the PBS documentary as part of “Cronkite Night at the Movies.” The Sept. 2 kick-off selection will be introduced by Cronkite School senior associate dean Marianne Barrett and faculty professor Louise Solheim.
