Joe Rosenthal-he took the Iwo Jima photograph.
Edward R. Murrow-he covered the London blitz and invented the phrases “This is London,” and “good night and good luck,” an expression Londoners used as a farewell during the air raids.
Murrow flew on US bombing raids over Europe, recording his experiences for re-broadcast. His stark, sobering account of the liberation of Buchenwald earned him criticism from some self-styled censors, all of which he dismissed. “I have reported what I saw and heard,” Murrow declared, “but only part of it. For most of it I have no words. …If I’ve offended you by this rather mild account of Buchenwald, I’m not in the least sorry.”
