Remembering Charles Kuralt, legendary creator of "On the Road," as segment turns 50
Posted Oct 29, 2017
The "On the Road" motor home wasn't the fastest way to find a news story. But Charles Kuralt wasn't looking for fast, or even news, for that matter -- at least not in the traditional sense. Kuralt was a different kind of journalist. He didn't investigate people. He simply admired them. The legendary creator of "On the Road" died 20 years ago.
