Edward Roscoe Murrow (1908 – 1965)
was an American broadcast journalist and war correspondent. He first gained
prominence during World War II with a series of live radio broadcasts from
Europe for the news division of CBS. During the war he recruited and worked
closely with a team of war correspondents who came to be known as the Murrow
Boys.
A pioneer of radio and
television news broadcasting, Murrow produced a series of reports on his
television program See It Now which helped lead to the censure of Senator
Joseph McCarthy. Fellow journalists Eric Sevareid, Ed Bliss, Bill Downs, Dan
Rather, and Alexander Kendrick consider Murrow one of journalism's greatest
figures.
