Rather was born in Wharton, Texas. 1953 he received a bachelor s degree in journalism from Sam Houston State Teachers College. Rather began his career in 1950 as an Associated Press reporter in Huntsville. Later, he was a reporter for United Press International (1950-1952), several Texas radio stations, and the Houston Chronicle (1954-1955). In 1959, he entered television as a reporter for KTRK-TV in Houston. Prior to joining CBS News, Rather was news director for KHOU-TV, the CBS affiliate in Houston. In 1961, Rather reported live from the Galveston seawall as Hurricane Carla threatened the Texas coastline. This action impressed the network executives at CBS, and they hired him as a CBS News correspondent in 1962. Rather, quite by accident, was the first television journalist to report that President John F. Kennedy had died of wounds received from an assassin. He is also known by Kennedy researchers to have seen the Zapruder film. After serving as a foreign correspondent for CBS News, he drew the assignment as primary anchor for the CBS Sunday Night News, while serving as White House correspondent during the Richard Nixon presidency. His hard punching coverage of the Watergate Investigation and Impeachment proceedings became legendary. After President Nixon s resignation, Rather took the assignment of chief correspondent for CBS News Special Reports. Some critics wondered whether it was a demotion, but Rather s career with CBS News had one success after another. He became a correspondent of the long-running Sunday night news show 60 Minutes, just as the program was moved from a Sunday afternoon timeslot to primetime. Success there brought Rather in line to succeed Walter Cronkite as main anchor and Managing Editor of the CBS Evening News. Rather assumed the position upon Cronkite s retirement on March 9, 1981. For a short time from 1993 to 1995, Rather co-anchored the evening news with Connie Chung. After embarassing tactics on Mrs. Chungs part the Rather-Chung duo was cancelled and Rather went back to doing the newscast solo. Additionally, competition among cable outlets developed over the next two decades. His departure from the anchor chair was troubling for CBS, as Rather s journalistic credentials were questioned during the 2004 Presidential campaign between George W. Bush and John Kerry. Rather retired from anchor of the CBS evening news at 7:00 eastern time, 9 March 2005. Rather is also a columnist whose work is distributed by King Features Syndicate.
