This past Friday night, the newsman America trusted passed away at the age of 92.  We write a lot about journalism and the need to have good, honest people reporting the news here at TakePart, so it with much sadness that we bid Mr. Cronkite adieu.

Below are some links to some of the internet’s best pieces about Cronkite and the work he did over the years.

If you know of something I missed please leave a link in the comments!
