News Reporting

Rating: 10/10 (20 March 2006)

Good Night and Good Luck is an excellent powerful film about a time when TV was in its infancy and I really see through Murrow that many of the fears back then are still in the world today. It is a lesson in reporting, journalism, and reporting the truth to the public in a time when Government was feared by ordinary people of this country especially when it came to Senator McCarthy. Murrow was not afraid to report the truth. He is what many reporters today have tried to live up to.The fear of McCarthy was very real by the people of the country and Murrow exposes the fear by talking about it on his newscast. It took guts to broadcast those stories and Murrow took on fear and did not let it stop him from broadcasting the truth.
