He did the Kennedy assassination, the first walk on the moon, Martin Luther King, the Watergate thing with Nixon, the Vietnam war, the protests. I think his last broadcast was in 1981, so most of my exposure to him was watching videos in high school in my journalism class and again in college. Also, we saw a lot of his face in my history classes because of the stories he covered.
Those who know of him and have seen his broadcasts consider him to be important, but I suspect the younger generations probably won't care as much because he wasn't part of their news experiences...those that actually follow the news and not just the celebrity magazines.
I'd recommend at least getting some exposure to Cronkite's old broadcasts, because he is a journalism icon. There aren't really a heck of a lot of other journalism icons I can think of short of Leonard (sp?) and Bernstein. If you are interested in journalism, you really should at least know a little about him. Besides, he covered some really influential periods of American history from the mid to late part of the last century.
