Before attending Washington State University I knew I wanted to persue a major in Communication. After reviewing my choice of schools, I made the decision to come to WSU and one reason was because of the distinguished reputation for their School of Communication. A good portion of the reputation can be credited to Edward R. Murrow. I was excited for this lecture because I wasn't exactly sure about his accomplishments or why he was so popular. Murrow attended Washington State College now known as Washington State University and gradutated in 1930 with a degree in speech.
After this he started working for CBS in London where he was the director. During World War Two, Murrow broadcasted live a German march into the city. He also reported live on rooftops during the Blitz of 1940 in Britain. During the war he reported to the nation every night with his popular and well known phrase "This is London". Among many of his accomplishments, he is a symbol for broadcast journalism. His deep voice was/is well recognized among many people.
