In the News

I do remember the Saturday morning CBS News public affairs program In the News which was anchored by CBS News journalist Christopher Glenn. This show presented the news of that week in language and a format that young Saturday morning television viewers like me could understand. It surely wasn&apos;t something CBS News and Christopher Glenn had to do. It probably would have been easier to put cartoons and cereal commercials on to pad the network bottom line. But the network and Christopher Glenn stepped away from &quot;the norm&quot; and produced a program I believe introduced a generation of young people to current affairs, journalism, broadcasting, and government service. I am one of them.

It was obvious Mr. Glenn was dedicated to educating and informing by the painstaking effort he took to explain sometimes complicated news events in a manner easily understood by Saturday morning television viewers.

While serving as a reporter on my high school newspaper, I met Christopher Glenn at a Columbia University Conference for scholastic journalists. He was a lecturer-presenter at the event and spoke to us journalist in the making in a respectful and informative way quite similar to his television style and manner. At this conference, he provided information and advice related to being a good journalist and answering many questions about journalistic ethics and pursuits in the career. I respected him as a Saturday morning viewer of In the News and respected him even more after having met him.

In addition to his television work, Christopher Glenn was the evening anchor of CBS Radio&apos;s World News Roundup program which aired daily on CBS Radio affiliates across the country. His writing, anchoring and presentation on this program was exceptional like all the work of this news professional. When you heard the CBS News sounder opening followed by &quot;This is the CBS News World Roundup. I&apos;m Christopher Glenn, you knew you were going to get the best in news that day. His work, career and purpose has inspired a generation of broadcasters and journalists, including me.
