The Murrow Boys – News Broadcasting During World War II Wednesday, July 18, 10:30am-noon Presenter: Brian Belanger, Curator, Radio & Television Museum Prior to World War II, few radio newscasts were offered and the ones heard tended to be leisurely commentary on current events rather than “hard” news. That changed dramatically during the war when CBS hired Edward R. Murrow to arrange broadcasts from Europe. Join Brian as he tells us about Murrow and other young journalists such as Eric Sevareid, Charles Collingwood, and Larry LeSueur, and how they took listeners via shortwave radio from city to city to hear the latest developments around the world. (“And, now we take you to London.”) Listening to Murrow’s live report standing on the roof of a building in London as bombs are falling around him is difficult to forget. Brian will also bring to life the news as he plays audio clips from that time. RSVP: [email protected] or 703.537.3062 .
