If you haven't seen Good Night and Good Luck, you must. It's an impeccable film about about the life and work of legendary CBS newsman Edward R. Murrow. More broadly, though, it explores the responsibilities of journalists -- and the nature of courage, a quality not defined so much by the absence of fear as the willingness to act in spite of it.
Snip:
* The movie begins and ends with a famous speech delivered by Murrow at the Radio-Television News Directors Association (RTNDA) in 1958. It's worth reading in entirety, and you can do that here
. Much of it seems just as relevant now, half a century after it was written:
much more goodness at boing boing..
