Life, Accomplishments of Edward R. Murrow Focus of Webchat
Broadcast journalist Bob Edwards to host May 3 World Press Freedom Day webchat




Washington -- Join renowned broadcast journalist Bob Edwards on World Press Freedom Day for a webchat on the life and accomplishments of an "American original" -- Edward R. Murrow.

From his thrilling rooftop radio broadcasts during the London blitz to his hard-edged television documentaries and his public confrontation with a powerful U.S. senator, Murrow set a high, principled standard for journalistic excellence, and became known as the father of broadcast journalism. (See related publication Edward R. Murrow: Journalism at It's Best.)

Edwards, who hosted National Public Radio's (NPR) Morning Edition for 25 years, attracting more than 13 million listeners weekly, currently hosts XM Public Radio’s flagship program The Bob Edwards Show. He will be online to discuss Murrow's life in journalism and his recently published book on the birth of broadcast journalism in a USINFO Webchat May 3 at 9:00 a.m. EDT (1300 GMT).

One of broadcasting's most distinguished journalists, Edwards was inducted into the national Radio Hall of Fame in 2004. He is the author of two books: Fridays with Red, which chronicled his radio friendship with legendary sportscaster Red Barber, and the recently published Edward R. Murrow and the Birth of Broadcast Journalism.

2. Blitzer just asked the Big Question! I'm shocked!

"How could this happen in NYC five years after 9/11?"

Indeed. Do you feel safe, America?

3. i guess screaming "REMEMBER 9/11" stopped working, so now we get a demo.

8. Yep.

A little pre-election booster shot to take our minds of Foleygate.

4. this looks like an accident (n/t)

[butterfly77]

7. yes. But bush's point is that he is protecting us..

can he protect us? I thought that he was suppose to be on the look out for anything suspicious. This may be a accident but watch the republiCONS try to make it look like he was there protecting us. If he can use a situation to make him self look like he is some strong and fearless leader then we have the right to question that.
