When Media Nation met Suldog

This past Saturday, I had the honor of introducing the 2005 film "Good Night, and Good Luck," about the life of Edward R. Murrow, at the Boston Athenaeum, part of a "Civic Discourse" series it's running along with Suffolk University.

I also had a chance to meet Jim Sullivan, who writes the excellent local blog Suldog, as well as Mrs. Suldog. Jim has got some interesting things to say about Murrow and the how the media landscape has changed since the 1950s, when Murrow's CBS program "See It Now" played a major role in ending the witch-hunting career of Sen. Joseph McCarthy.

Self-referential post of the day

I just noticed that the banner ad at the top of Media Nation is promoting a screening of "Good Night, and Good Luck," the 2005 film about Edward R. Murrow, which will be shown this Saturday at the Boston Athenaeum in conjunction with Suffolk University. (You might have to hit "reset.")

As it turns out, I'll be introducing the film. Hope to see you there.
