Murrow was one large head staring into the camera and he’s looking at you, talking to you as if you are the most intelligent person on the planet. He talks in measured tone. No image of him being reduced to a tiny box.
I really believe that allows the viewer to draw their own conclusions. But today an event happens and there will be 5 maybe 6 people sitting around talking and discussing with each other, not to us. That, to me, is a decline in the way news is presented.
