This book is for them I want them to know that broadcast journalism was established by someone with the highest standards. Tabloid crime stories, so much a part of the lust for ratings by today's news broadcasters, held no interest for Murrow. He did like Hollywood celebrities, but interviewed them for his entertainment programs; they had no place on his news programs. My book is focused on this life in journalism. I offer it in the hope that more people in and out of the news business will get to know Ed Murrow. Perhaps in time the descent from Murrow's principles can be reversed." — Bob Edwards Review: Well-written and interesting - Great book on history of broadcast journalism. The audiobook is especially good. Review: Enjoy this work about a journalistic legend. - I read this book primarily because I had used a quote by Mr. Murrow in one of my books. The quote was "The obscure we see eventually, the completely apparent takes longer." I asked for permission to use it, which I didn't really need, from the Univ. of Washington where Murrow attended. They could not find it and referred me to Janet Murrow, Ed's wife. She gave me permission. This contact motivated me to read the book. I was happy to learn about the man who really gave birth to broadcast journalism. It is an interesting, educational read.

I can still hear his voice: "This is London." My only disappointment with the book was that it was so short! I just finished a 1100 page book on Walter Cronkite, and I was expecting at least a 300 to 400 page book on Edward R. Murrow. There were so many details that were left out. I wonder why Bob Edwards did not write more? Surely there was plenty of material there! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/14126034-edward-r-murrow-and-the-birth-of-broadcast-journalism-turning](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/14126034-edward-r-murrow-and-the-birth-of-broadcast-journalism-turning) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-09*
