Edward R. Murrow was one of the most prominent American radio and TV broadcast journalists and war reporters of the 20th century. He was an integral part of the ‘Columbia Broadcasting System’ (CBS), and his broadcasts during World War II made him a household name in America. His responsible journalism brought about the downfall of Joseph McCarthy. He produced the radio program ‘Hear It Now,’ which was later adapted for TV, as ‘See It Now.’ He quit the broadcast industry after disagreements with network executives. He also served as the director of the ‘U.S. Information Agency’ under the John F. Kennedy administration. Unfortunately, his habit of smoking took its toll on his health, and he died of lung cancer in 1965. He is remembered as one of the most influential journalists of his time and one of the pioneers of the TV broadcasting industry.
