Good Night, and Good Luck



Good Night, and Good Luck

1. Watch the movie.

2. Write an in-class reaction paper about the following:

• Murrow tells his boss, Sig Mickelson, he’s searched his conscience and doesn’t think there are always “two equal and logical sides to every story.” Mickelson accuses him of editorializing in his coverage.

Looking at the hot topics today like the “Right to Work” laws or Legalization of Marijuana. There are two sides to these stories, as a reporter if you have strong feelings toward one side how do you cover this story fairly.

• Some say Clooney was drawing a parallel between today’s controversial balance of national security and personal freedoms with what occurred during the McCarthy era. What do you think and why? Support your stand.

(No fly lists, phone taps, computer hacking/searchers by the government)
