Remembering Fred Friendly. Changing the Face of TV News
Description
The father of television journalism and an exemplar of integrity, Fred Friendly was a war correspondent in World War II, the producer of Edward R. Murrow's popular documentary show "See It Now," and the maverick president of CBS News. In this program, ABC News anchor Ted Koppel examines the contributions of a man who helped radio news make its quantum leap to the TV screen in the early 1950s and who challenged decision-makers of all types to think-and think hard-about issues as diverse as corporate exploitation and McCarthyism. No study of television news can be considered complete without a look at this pivotal figure.
