Dan Rather has been a fixture in American journalism since the early 1950s.

As a young boy, growing up in Texas Rather became enamored of heroes like Edward r. Murrow, and vowed to become a journalist himself someday.

After joining CBS News in the 1960s, Rather succeeded Walter Cronkite as anchor of the CBS Evening News in 1981, a position he held for the next 24 years.

In this 1994 interview Rather talks about the role of TV news -- and some of the conmtroversies about him.
