BEST BROADCASTS OF 1939-40 nightly ten o’clock programs over MBS, and most people are acquainted with his intensive newspaper experience in Europe. Edward R. Murrow. — Mr. Murrow is chief of Columbia’s European staff. He is thirty-four years old. Prior to his appointment to the London office he was for two years the CBS Talks Director. Before his radio career began, he was for several years the assistant director of the Institute of International Education, working with the internationally famous Stephen Duggan. His responsibilities in this interesting connection took him all over Europe and ac¬ quainted him with most of the important men and im¬ portant movements of both England and the Continent. William L. Shirer. — Mr. Shirer is considered by Mr. Murrow and by Time magazine to be the most effective news reporter in the entire foreign field. He came to radio after twelve years on the Continental “beat” for the Chicago Tribune and Universal Service. He was their European correspondent from 1925 to 1937. His broadcast, which I am reprinting, someday will become a historical document. 332
