ABC's Peter Jennings Tribute
I just finished watching the second half of the 2 hour, commercial-free Peter Jennings: Reporter ABC aired tonight. It was incredible. Even more surreal was hearing some of the people I worked with this past Spring talk about Peter and all he meant to them.
At the end, TV-3 (the World News Tonight/Main Studio) had its lights dimmed. A spotlight was on the anchor chair. A trumpet played the World News Tonight theme song as the camera zoomed in to the empty chair. Trying to describe this using words is such a futile attempt at communication, but it was worth a try. I hope they put parts of what aired tonight online.
I can't imagine how much work it's taken ABC News to put together a 2 hour special in just three days. I only wish I could have been one of the people that helped.
