W: Hi, Steve, have you ever heard of Edward R. Murrow? I really want to know his life story.
M: Oh, yes. Edward R. Murrow was a famous radio and television broadcaster. He helped create and develop modern news broadcasting. Murrow was born in 1908 in the state of North Carolina. When he was 6, the Murrow family moved across the country. They settled in the western state of Washington, near the border with Canada.
W: What about his college life? Is there anything particular and attractive?
M: Edward R. Murrow was active in college politics. He served as president of the National Student Federation. He organized debates and other events for the student organizations.
W: What did he do after graduation from college?
M: He joined the Institute of International Education in 1932. He served as assistant director of the group. During this period, he married a young woman he had met at a student conference. In 1935, Edward R. Murrow accepted a job with the Columbia Broadcasting System. His job was to get famous people to speak on CBS radio programs. Two years later, Murrow was named director of the CBS European office and moved to London. His job was to get European officials and experts to provide comments for CBS broadcasts. Murrow was 29 years old and the company’s only representative in Europe.
W: Oh, he was so amazing, wasn’t he? What happened to him later?
M: Murrow offered a job to William L. Shirer, a newspaper reporter. The two men wanted to do something different. They wanted to present radio reports about what they had seen and heard. In March, 1938, they made radio broadcasting history. They produced a thirty-minute broadcast to report on the occupation of Austria by Nazi Germany. That meant getting people in Berlin and other European capitals to comment on the news story. Murrow travelled to Vienna to report on Nazi forces entering the Austrian capital. The broadcast also included reports from London, Berlin, Paris, France, Rome and Italy. It was a huge success.
W: Wow. You know so much about him. Thank you!
