September 11th,
2001 was a time that everyone will always look back on and
remember. It was a time in America’s
history where everyone was connected by some shape or form. September 11th was also a time
where the entire nation tuned into one of the networks to listen to a trusted
television journalist, either Jennings,
Brokaw or Rather.
When gazing through the crystal ball to see the future of
network news, things definitely do not look optimistic. With only ABC’s Peter Jennings left after
Brokaw and Rather left the world of news, the American public will face a major
dilemma if anything such as September 11th
will occur again. During and after 9/11, many Americans tuned
into one of the three networks primarily because of their trust they have in
the anchormen that have been around for a lengthened time. Now, only one of these three familiar TV
personalities remains, and the future is yet to be seen.
