Charles Gibson

When Will Internet Kill the Network News Anchor?

Today Charles Gibson ended his 19-year tenure on ABC’s “Good Morning America”. He will go on to the prestigious job as permanent replacement for Peter Jennings in the Anchor chair at ABC’s “World News Tonight”. There he will battle it out with another morning star, Katie Couric, who recently left NBC’s “The Today Show” to be the first sole female anchor on “CBS Evening News”. Who cares? A few people, apparently.
