Edward R. Murrow
Armistice Day News Roundup
by
Edward R. Murrow’s broadcast reporting brings listeners a news roundup on Armistice Day, November 11, 1941. The program centers on current events as presented by Murrow, whose direct, measured delivery became closely associated with radio journalism.
This is a news broadcast rather than a dramatic story: its interest lies in hearing a contemporary account of events and the way they were framed for radio listeners. Murrow’s clear narration gives the roundup a focused, reportorial character.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
