anchorman (1952?)

[Sam Clements]

>From a story in the _Mount Pleasant(IA) News_ 28 Nov, 1952   page 6/col 4
(Newspaperarchive)

(The entire article talks about newspeople who had just covered the
Convention.)

<<Walter Cronkite:  Our favorite(with Clifton Utley) of this trial by TV.
Solid, sure reporting, amazingly neutral manner under every
circumstance(*until the Chicago/Rather thing--sc)  with no compulsion to
inject excitement or color where none exists; an ideal anchor man, by far
the best of CBS-TV's team.>>

The story is headlined "NY (INS)"  but no author.

So, did Hewitt coin the name only days before this writer?  How did this
writer learn of the coinage?
