A bevy of prominent Pacific Northwest communication professionals will lead workshops as part of the annual Edward R. Murrow Symposium at WSU Pullman.
“Our advisory board leaders know who’s who in the business and they have the connections to bring them to campus,” said Alex Tan, director, Edward R. Murrow School of Communication.
Symposium-related events begin at 6 p.m. Monday, April 17, with a special screening of “Good Night and Good Luck,” the Oscar-nominated film about broadcast journalist Murrow. Afterwards, movie goers can ask questions of son Casey Murrow and Milo Radulovich, the soldier whose story was broadcast by Murrow to expose McCarthyism.
The screening and April 18 workshops are free.
Asked which workshops might be of particular interest to staff and faculty, Marvin Marcelo, director of the symposium, recommended “Reporting in a Time of War,” presented by Steve Weiss at 10:10 a.m. in Studio B of the Murrow Building. Weiss, a colleague of Murrow’s on the CBS broadcast Person to Person, is a senior visiting research fellow, Kings College London.
Marcelo also picked a workshop by David Brewster, co-creator of the Seattle Weekly, and others as a talk of potential interest to WSU employees. They will speak on “Niche and Community Alternative Newspapers,” at 10:10 a.m. in Studio A of the Murrow Building.
