Should be #1. Nobody matches him. Announced the Kennedy assasination and LBJ death, even showing emotion, something lacking these days. He also covered the Vietnam War. He wasn’t just an anchor. He almost felt like a part of the bond between Americans. His retirement was a very sad moment.

15 George Orwell Eric Arthur Blair (25 June 1903 – 21 January 1950), who used the pen name George Orwell, was an English novelist, essayist, journalist and critic. His work is marked by lucid prose, awareness of social injustice, opposition to totalitarianism, and outspoken support of democratic socialism.

Most know him as the author of Animal Farm and 1984. However, in addition to being a storywriter, Orwell was also an experienced and dedicated journalist and his journalistic experiences did influence his writing and his novels.
