Дженнингс, Питер цитаты

Питер Чарльз Арчибальд Эварт Дженнингс — американский журналист канадского происхождения, ведущий программы новостей. Он был единственным ведущим «Мировых новостей» телеканала АВС с 1983 года до своей смерти в 2005 году от осложнений рака лёгких.

Уволенный преподаватель средней школы, он стал одним из самых известных американских телевизионных журналистов.

Дженнингс начал свою карьеру рано, участвуя с девяти лет в радиопостановках в Канаде.

Он начал свою профессиональную карьеру на телевидении в Оттаве, ведя местные выпуски новостей, а также устраивая подростковые танцевальные шоу по субботам.

В 1965 году ABC News пригласило его стать ведущим своей главной программы вечерних новостей. Его неопытность вызвала критику, что делало для него трудным пребывание в кресле ведущего. В итоге вместо ведущего Дженнингс стал корреспондентом в 1968 году, начав с репортажей на Ближнем Востоке.

Он вернулся в качестве одного из трёх ведущих «Мировых новостей» на ABC в 1978 году и позже, в 1983 году, был назначен на должность единственного ведущего.

Дженнингс был известен своим «марафонным» освещением новостных историй, пребывая на открытом воздухе в течение многих часов, ведя в эфир прямую трансляцию событий, например, таких как начало войны в Персидском заливе в 1991 году, празднование тысячелетия в 2000 году, событий 11 сентября в 2001 году.

Он также был автором многих специальных репортажей ABC News, ведущим нескольких американских президентских дебатов.

В 2003 году Дженнингс стал натурализованным гражданином Соединённых Штатов.

Наряду с Томом Брокау из NBC и Дэном Разером из CBS, Питер Дженнингс входил в состав т.н. «большой тройки» ведущих новостей, которые доминировали в американской сети телевизионных вечерних новостей, с начала 1980-х годов до своей смерти в 2005 году. Wikipedia

Дженнингс, Питер: Цитаты на английском языке

“On 9/11, those of us who do the jobs that I do, flew without a net for hour and hour and hour after end. And then you hope and pray that you've had the experience to be up to it.”

Larry King Interview (8 September 2003)
Контексте: On 9/11, those of us who do the jobs that I do, flew without a net for hour and hour and hour after end. And then you hope and pray that you've had the experience to be up to it. Because then you're editor, analyst, reporter, correspondent, ringmaster, the whole thing.

“So you train yourself over the years to try and give accounting to the variety… and come to some decent place in the middle. But I'm not a slave to objectivity. I'm never quite sure what it means. And it means different things to different people.”

In response to the question "Is it impossible to be totally objective?"
Larry King Interview (8 September 2003)
Контексте: My dad was part of the pioneers of public broadcasting in Canada. And he always told me the most important thing you can be in your career is fair. So we all start to see a box and hope that we see the box in the same way. But you recognize in time that people see the box or they see traffic accidents in entirely different ways. So you train yourself over the years to try and give accounting to the variety... and come to some decent place in the middle. But I'm not a slave to objectivity. I'm never quite sure what it means. And it means different things to different people.

“You can't cover the Middle East — you can't cover American politics — you can't cover America these days without finding people in one place or another taking exception to what we do. I think it goes with the territory. Keeps me, at least I hope, mindful, always that there's at least one other opinion and sometimes a dozen other opinions. And they all bear accounting for.”

Larry King Interview (8 September 2003)
Контексте: I think no matter what we cover, people tend to see what we cover through their own particular political or personal prisms. I always ask people to be specific what they're talking about. You can't cover the Middle East — you can't cover American politics — you can't cover America these days without finding people in one place or another taking exception to what we do. I think it goes with the territory. Keeps me, at least I hope, mindful, always that there's at least one other opinion and sometimes a dozen other opinions. And they all bear accounting for. But not everybody is right you know because somebody says, "well you did X", and you say "well, maybe X is right in some cases".

“There's a whole industry of conservatives saying, "Ah, it's those damn liberals," and a whole group of liberals saying, "It's all those damn conservatives"”

Interview for KETV NewsWatch 7 as quoted at The Omaha Channel http://www.theomahachannel.com/politics/3833789/detail.html (19 October 2004)
Контексте: There's a whole industry of conservatives saying, "Ah, it's those damn liberals," and a whole group of liberals saying, "It's all those damn conservatives"... If you tailor your news viewing, as some people are now doing, so that you only get one point of view, well of course you're going to think somebody else has got a different point of view, and it may be wrong.

“I have never spent a day in my adult life where I didn't learn something”

Interview in Saturday Evening Post, quoted by USA Today http://www.usatoday.com/life/television/news/2005-08-07-jennings-dies_x.htm?POE=LIFISVA (7 August 2005)
Контексте: I have never spent a day in my adult life where I didn't learn something, and if there is a born-again quality to me, that's it.

“You know, I came just as the Cold War was coming to an end. When you think about the events that we've been through, from the fall of the Berlin Wall to, I guess you'd say, 9/11 being the culmination at the end of that — of that scope — what extraordinary changes there have been.”

Response to question on what it feels like to have been the ABC News Anchorman for 20 years.
Larry King Interview (8 September 2003)
Контексте: Seems like yesterday; seems like forever—all at the same time. It's sort of, how do you measure it? Do you measure the fact that I'm 20 years older? No. I think I measure it by the events. You know, I came just as the Cold War was coming to an end. When you think about the events that we've been through, from the fall of the Berlin Wall to, I guess you'd say, 9/11 being the culmination at the end of that — of that scope — what extraordinary changes there have been.
