1908 ~1965
Edward R. Murrow KBE (born Egbert Roscoe Murrow;
April 25, 1908 – April 27, 1965) was an American broadcast journalist.
He was generally referred to as Ed Murrow. He first came to prominence
with a series of radio broadcasts for the news division of the Columbia Broadcasting System during World War II, which were followed by millions of listeners in the United States.
From 1951 to 1955, Murrow was the host of This I Believe,
which offered ordinary people the opportunity to speak for five minutes
on radio. He continued to present daily radio news reports on the CBS
Radio Network until 1959. He also recorded a series of narrated
"historical albums" for Columbia Records called I Can Hear It Now, which inaugurated his partnership with producer Fred W. Friendly. In 1950 the records evolved into a weekly CBS Radio show, Hear It Now, hosted by Murrow and co-produced by Murrow and Friendly.
