Chip Walter Biography

Chip Walter is one of the most popular and richest Author who was born on May 23, 1951 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States.

After departing CNN Walter wrote and produced several award-winning documentaries for PBS including two programs for the Emmy Award-winning science series Planet Earth (1986) and another for Infinite Voyage (1986-1989 series), the first PBS series to air on both public and commercial television. He also wrote and produced a college-credit tele course which followed the Planet Earth series. His program “Fires of the Mind,” was the first show publicly premiered for the Infinite Voyage series. It dealt with the evolution of human intelligence and creativity, themes Walter has returned to many times in his work. Variety called the documentary “Handsomely produced, beautifully written…a fascinating hour.” The Village Voice wrote that it delivered ” a sense of human accomplishment, which is the true ambition of science on the air.”

Beginning in 1989, Walter developed a new series for WQED entitled Space Age to celebrate the International Space Year in 1992, the quincentenary of Christopher Columbus’s voyage to the New World in 1492. The multimillion- dollar six part series, which was PBS’s primetime series in the fall of 1992, was hosted by Patrick Stewart. Walter went on to write the series’ companion book by the same title published by Random House in 1992 under the name William J. Walter Jr. The Houston Post called the book “lucid, well-written and well thought out.”
