  • The Edward R. Murrow of Docudramas and Documentary
    Media History Monographs 12:1 (2010) ISSN 1940-8862 The Edward R. Murrow of Docudramas and Documentary By Lawrence N. Strout Mississippi State University Three major TV and film productions about Edward R. Murrow‟s life are the subject of this research: Murrow, HBO, 1986; Edward R. Murrow: This Reporter, PBS, 1990; and Good Night, and Good Luck, Warner Brothers, 2005. Murrow has frequently been referred to as the “father” of broadcast journalism. So, studying the “documentation” of his life in an attempt to ascertain its historical role in supporting, challenging, and/or adding to the collective memory and mythology surrounding him is important. Research on the docudramas and documentary suggests the depiction that provided the least amount of context regarding Murrow‟s life (Good Night) may be the most available for viewing (DVD). Therefore, Good Night might ultimately contribute to this generation (and the next) having a more narrow and skewed memory of Murrow. And, Good Night even seems to add (if that is possible) to Murrow‟s already “larger than life” mythological image. ©2010 Lawrence N. Strout Media History Monographs 12:1 Strout: Edward R.

  • CLEAN WATER HEROES Georgia Tech TANYARD CREEK Georgia Tech Campus Captures Stormwater to Conserve Water and Protect Urban Stream
    Georgia’s 2017 CLEAN WATER HEROES Georgia Tech TANYARD CREEK Georgia Tech Campus Captures Stormwater to Conserve Water and Protect Urban Stream INTRODUCTION: When Chattahoochee Riverkeeper was looking for a way to show a group of intown Atlanta residents how to use green infrastructure to manage stormwater at a proposed neighborhood park, they had to look no further than the campus of the Georgia Institute of Technology. Georgia Tech has been a leader in green TANYARD infrastructure since it built its first LEED certified building in 2003. Since then, CREEK the Institute has taken on the challenge of managing the rain that falls on the campus. Now that rain is collected and conserved, and the campus has become a veritable zoo of green infrastructure projects that save water and keep pollution out of local streams. The campus’ green solutions to stormwater runoff are so numerous, faculty and students have even developed a smartphone app that allows anyone to take a virtual tour of Tech’s innovative approaches to managing stormwater. THE WATER BODY: In 1888, when Georgia Tech opened its doors, Tanyard Creek flowed through what was then undeveloped property west of Georgia Tech’s iconic Tech Tower building. When thunderstorms rattled over Tech students in those days, the rain hit the ground and seeped slowly into it and eventually to Tanyard Creek. Over the course of the next century as the Institute and Atlanta grew in unison, Tanyard was slowly piped and buried. Today, almost 70 percent of the land surrounding Tanyard Creek is covered in concrete, asphalt and buildings.
