Abstract: Edward R. Murrow’s reputation as one of America’s most celebrated journalists endures today, more than 40 years after his death. Murrow brought to American radio listeners—and later television viewers—compelling stories that came alive through words and pictures; he described the horrors of war both on and off the battlefield; he challenged a powerful member of the U.S. Congress in the midst of the “Red Scare” of the 1950s; and, near the end of his life, he was called on by John F. Kennedy to lead the nation’s effort to “tell America’s story to the world.”
