Edward R. Murrow was an American broadcast journalist and war correspondent. He first gained prominence during World War II with a series of live radio broadcasts from Europe for the news division of CBS. During the war he recruited and worked closely with a team of war correspondents who came to be known as the Murrow Boys.
A pioneer of radio and television news broadcasting, Murrow produced a series of reports on his television program "See It Now" which helped lead to the censure of Senator Joseph McCarthy. Murrow directed the U.S. Information Agency from 1961 to 1964.
This tribute to Murrow was broadcast on shortwave frequencies to an international audience by the Voice of America on April 28, 1965, one day after Murrow's death at the age of 57.
