Best Answer

Walter Cronkite was a news reporter and TV journalist. He got his start as a print journalist, covering World War II; but he was best known as the anchor for the CBS-TV Evening News, a role he held from 1962 to 1981. Credible, professional, and capable of handling even the most chaotic scenario with dignity, Cronkite was considered (according to public opinion surveys) the most trusted man in America. I enclose a link to a reliable biographical sketch about his career in news.

How can a journalist remain neutral?

For many, it isn't easy, but it is possible. Journalism, after all, is a career, not a religion or political point of view, and the journalist must remember that it is essential to their career that they stay focused on the goal: being a messenger, delivering news to the people.Of course, it's not always easy. It's best to remain on a beat that doesn't touch on anything that personal in the journalist's own life.
