He moved to United States in 1965, and having worked for CBS for six weeks, he joined the military in which he served as policeman in Saigon for ten months during the Vietnam War, and was eventually rewarded with the Army Commendation Medal for meritorious service, despite not serving in combat. After discharge, he returned to CBS and continued working for them for the next three decades. He started off with by answering backstage ‘phones for The Ed Sullivan Show, but subsequently Howard became a journalist and his career began expanding.

He went on to work as a producer, followed by his job of a senior executive. Stringer spent three years working as a producer of ‘’CBS Evening News With Dan Rather’’. He worked as the president of CBS News from 1986 until 1988, and during the late ‘80s and through to the mid- 90’s, Stringer served as a president of CBS, Inc. and was in charge of broadcasting, news, sports, radio and television stations.
