Father of broadcast journalism
 

Edward R. Murrow, born on April 25 in 1908, is considered the father of broadcast journalism. Having made his mark with his radio broadcasts from London during World War II, Murrow moved his radio format to television with his See it Now series. The series tackled controversial issues and is most famous for Murrow's criticism of Senator Joseph McCarthy, which helped bring an end to the Red Scare of the 1950s. George Clooney was recently nominated for an Oscar for his film about that period in Murrow's life, Good Night and Good Luck.
