Walter Leland Cronkite, Jr. (November 4, 1916 – July 17, 2009) was an American broadcast journalist, best known as anchorman for the CBS Evening News for 19 years (1962–81). During the heyday of CBS News in the 1960s and 1970s, he was often cited as "the most trusted man in America" after being so named in an opinion poll. Although he reported many events from 1937 to 1981, including bombing in World War II, the Nuremberg trials, combat in the Vietnam War, the death of President John F. Kennedy, the death of civil rights pioneer Martin Luther King, Jr., Watergate, and the Iran Hostage Crisis, he was known for extensive TV coverage of the U.S. space program, from Project Mercury to the Moon landings to the Space Shuttle. He was the only non-NASA recipient of a Moon-rock award. Cronkite is well known for his departing catchphrase "And that's the way it is," followed by the date on which the appearance is aired.

Walter Leland Cronkite Jr. (4. November 1916 – 17. Juli 2009) war ein US-amerikanischer Fernsehjournalist, der vor allem als Nachrichtensprecher der CBS Evening News bekannt wurde, die er 19 Jahre lang (1962–1981) moderierte. In der Blütezeit von CBS News in den 1960er- und 1970er-Jahren wurde er in einer Meinungsumfrage oft als „vertrauenswürdigster Mann Amerikas“ bezeichnet. Obwohl er von 1937 bis 1981 über zahlreiche Ereignisse berichtete, darunter Bombenangriffe im Zweiten Weltkrieg, die Nürnberger Prozesse, Kämpfe im Vietnamkrieg, den Tod von Präsident John F. Kennedy, den Tod des Bürgerrechtlers Martin Luther King Jr., Watergate und die Geiselkrise im Iran, war er vor allem für seine umfassende Fernsehberichterstattung über das US-amerikanische Raumfahrtprogramm bekannt, vom Mercury-Programm über die Mondlandungen bis hin zum Space Shuttle. Er war der einzige Nicht-NASA-Mitarbeiter, der mit dem Moon-Rock Award ausgezeichnet wurde. Cronkite ist bekannt für seinen Abschiedsspruch „Und so ist es nun mal“, gefolgt vom Datum der Ausstrahlung des Auftritts.

沃尔特·克朗凯特(1916年11月4日-2009年7月17日)是美国广播新闻记者,最广为人知的身份是哥伦比亚广播公司晚间新闻长达19年(1962-1981年)的主播。在哥伦比亚广播公司新闻部鼎盛的1960至1970年代,他因一项民意调查获称“全美最受信赖之人”而常获此誉。尽管他在1937年至1981年间报道过诸多重大事件——包括第二次世界大战空袭、纽伦堡审判、越南战争、约翰·F·肯尼迪总统遇刺、民权运动先驱小马丁·路德·金遇害、水门事件及伊朗人质危机等,但其最深入人心的成就当属对美国太空计划从水星计划到登月行动直至航天飞机时代的全程电视报道。他是唯一获得月球岩石奖的非美国宇航局人士。克朗凯特以其标志性的结束语“事实就是如此”闻名遐迩,每期节目尾声他都会说出这句经典台词并附上播出日期。
