Good Night, and Good Luck.

The George Clooney movie, Good Night, and Good Luck, represents an opportunity to use broadcast as a genre to learn about a range of topics. Students will enjoy the movie, but they also will be able to expand their understanding through discussion, further reading, writing and activities.

50 Years of Murrow

On October 15, 1958, veteran broadcaster Edward R. Murrow delivered his famous "wires and lights in a box" speech before attendees of the RTNDA convention. This year, RTNDA marks two anniversaries in the life of the renowned journalist: the 50th anniversary of his speech, and what would've been his 100th birthday.

Broadcast in a Box

In 2005, RTNDF’s High School Project put together a teacher’s toolbox called “Broadcast in a Box.” It consisted of three books, three discs and the RTNDA Code of Ethics. 

Response to the printed Broadcast in a Box was overwhelming, and we ran out of copies. Now we have most of Broadcast in a Box on the web. The best practices, updated Plugged-In, First Amendment lessons, Generation Next and student videos are here. Not here are the ethics video case studies, which were not available for online distribution.
