 The McCarthy Era: RTV 3007 Intro to Television

Red Channels  Red Channels named dozens of TV and radio writers, actors, producers, directors, executives as Communist sympathizers.  Shows began disappearing from TV and radio.  Actors and actresses were suddenly dismissed from series.  Blacklist management became part of the industry.

TV News in 1953  Today Show stars David Garroway and J. Fred Muggs  NBC’s Camel News Caravan and CBS TV News – 15 minutes of filmed newlsreels with anchor readings  Television news emphasized visual stories: press conferences, photo opportunities, local disasters  Stringers, loosely allied with networks, provided most news coverage  Radio’s tradition of news analysis was absent from TV. Exception: See It Now

Murrow vs McCarthy  Edward R. Murrow established himself as a journalist by reporting from London during the World War 2 blitz  Murrow and Fred Friendly create See It Now  See It Now covers the dismissal of Lt. Milo Radulovich from the Air Force because his family was thought to be Communist sympathizers  See It Now runs several segments against McCarthy  “The line between investigating and persecuting is a very fine one, and the junior senator from Wisconsin has stepped over it repeatedly.”

Good Night and Good Luck  David Straithaim plays Edward R. Murrow  George Clooney plays CBS producer Fred Friendly  Film uses actual footage of Senator Joseph McCarthy (R-WI)  Other characters  William Paley, CEO of CBS  Don Hollenbeck, CBS News anchor accused of being a “pinko”  Lt. Milo Radulovich, separated from the US Air Force in 1953  Annie Lee Moss, Pentagon worker accused of being a Communist  Film begins and ends with Murrow’s speech to the RTNDA in 1958
