Remembering Peter: Morning Roundup

>”More than 9 million people tuned in Wednesday night to watch as ABC News paid its respects to its longtime anchor Peter Jennings,” the Sun notes, making it “the most-watched program of the night…”

> Jennings “was first on Google Zeitgeist’s list of the Top 15 gaining queries for the week ending Aug. 8.”

> USA Today has a roundup of editorial page reactions to Jennings’ passing, including this passage from the Troy (NY) Record: “Journalism lost a champion, and we all lost a man who was a great American long before the Canadian-born Jennings became a citizen. Thank you for a job well done, Mr. Jennings.”
