Remembering 40 Years of Excellence...

The passing of Peter Jennings in August 2005 was an enormous loss. During his 40-year career at ABC News, he set the standard for broadcast journalism, a legacy that ABC News is committed to honoring and building upon in the future.

Peter Jennings' commitment to excellence was recognized in 2005, when he and ABC World News Tonight received, for the second consecutive year, the prestigious Edward R. Murrow Award for best newscast.
