Get it, read it, and pass it on.
--Bill Moyers
Most Americans living today never heard Ed Murrow in a live broadcast.
This book is for them I want them to know that broadcast journalism was
established by someone with the highest standards. Tabloid crime
stories, so much a part of the lust for ratings by today's news
broadcasters, held no interest for Murrow. He did like Hollywood
celebrities, but interviewed them for his entertainment programs; they
had no place on his news programs. My book is focused on this life in
journalism. I offer it in the hope that more people in and out of the
news business will get to know Ed Murrow. Perhaps in time the descent
from Murrow's principles can be reversed.
