LANDMARK TELEVISION FROM A LEGENDARY TEAM - SEE IT NOW - CBS-TV - CIRCA DECEMBER 2,1951

Just a brief post to remind ourselves of early television's innovative spirit.

In December of 1951, when CBS-TV debuted the legendary journalist and commentator, Edward R. Murrow, in one of the young medium's first magazine shows, SEE IT NOW, the production team decided to show viewers something that no human had ever seen before.

It should be no surprise, that along with the venerable producer of the program, Fred W, Friendly, who would later ascend to the presidency of the Tiffany network's news division, the director was video visionary, Don Hewitt, who would go to devise the protocols by which newscasts are produced and directed on television to this day ,and ,later,to create 60 MINUTES.
