The Anchor's Anchor Photos

CBS Founder William S. Paley is shown with news correspondent Walter Cronkite in an undated photo. Cronkite was the broadcaster to whom the title "anchorman" was first applied, and he became so identified in that role that his name became the term for it in other languages. Swedish anchors are known as Kronkiters; in Holland, they are Cronkiters.
