INTRODUCTION:<\/p>\n

Many students don’t have a clue as to who Edward R. Murrow was,
\nnor do they know that this veteran CBS broadcast journalist set the mark
\nfor excellence.<\/p>\n

This website is designed to help students (and teachers) learn not only who Murrow was, but also to help them appreciate history via his radio and TV broadcasts.<\/p>\n

Listening skills\u00a0<\/a>are critically important and many state’s\u00a0teaching standards<\/a>
\ninclude them. As such, this site may also be helpful not only to Social Studies, but also to those in the English Language arts arena.<\/p>\n

Before proceeding, it may also be helpful for educators (and students) to review:<\/p>\n

-media literacy\u00a0“key concepts”<\/a>
\n–critical thinking questions<\/a><\/p>\n

Using the Table of Contents (on the left) you will find a wealth of material
\nto use in the classroom.<\/p>\n
