A Memorable Broadcast, with lessons for the 21st Century

Edward R. Murrow Verses Joseph R. Mc Carthy, Wisconsin U.S. Senator.

It was March 9, 1954. America was gripped with the fear of the unknown. Uncertainty, and the paranoia of an invisible enemy. Then, it was Communism. Today, it is terrorism. Hear the words of those who were there during a memorable afternoon of recollections.

Featuring Don Hewitt, then CBS-TV director of the landmark television program called See It Now.’ Hewitt is also the creator of the internationally acclaimed program, CBS-TV’s ’60 Minutes.’

Producers Joseph and Shirley Wershba, not only worked on ‘See It Now,’ but were key consultants to the critically acclaimed hit movie, GOOD NIGHT, AND GOOD LUCK. Winners of the Society of the Silurians Lifetime Achievement Award for Excellence in Journalism.

Hear the moving words of noted CBS-TV producer, and later, Columbia University Journalism School lead Professor, the late Fred Friendly, as read by the woman closest to him, his wife, Ruth.


See the movie, GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK, now available on DVD. Visit their website: http://www.goodnightandgoodluck.com/
Buy the CD and hear this historic recording. Listen to what a select group of journalists had to say about a dark time in American history. It’s the perfect addition to the film making headways in a time, some say, we are witnessing today, in post-9/11 America.

Available from I-A-N. Check the website http://www.internationalaccess.org/
