Who was Edward R Murrow?
Edward R. Murrow was a widely-respected news reporter, first on the radio, and then in the early years of television. He began as a radio reporter for CBS in the late 1930s. He became known for a news program called "Hear It Now," and he also became known for his ground-breaking reporting from the scene of concentration camps and in the midst of bombings during World War II. He later went to TV, turned his radio show into "See It Now" and became famous for investigative journalism. In 1954, during the McCarthy era, he was one of the few journalists willing to criticize Senator Joseph McCarthy and debunk the assertions McCarthy was making. While Murrow alone did not bring McCarthy down, his courageous reporting was widely credited for getting the ball rolling, and that led to McCarthy finally being removed from power. There is a movie about Murrow's career called "Good Night and Good Luck" (named for the way he signed off at the end of his program).
