@dogshy61 Back then everyone smoked anywhere, including on television. There are some old news reports such as when there were tragedies (Kennedy assassination, etc...) where during several periods when more than one anchor is on screen at least one of them is smoking. This was also true of celebs on TV. Keep in mind also that in the 50s and 60s cigarettes were still advertised on TV commercials, some of them by real Physicians recommending certain brands as "healthier" over another brand.

Why does he have to smoke a cigarette on the show ?. Couldn't cancer man have done without for the five or six minutes that his segment lasted? It just looks so cheap and ordinary. Nobody would so that these days. The complaints would be deafening.

Murrow was SO in show business. His show "Person To Person " was a celebrity interview show, not a news show.

*Does* the questions of michoux26 reflect good grammar?

@soulierinvestments Agreed. Edward R. Murrow would be way too intelligent to be on TV today.

No.
We do not have the info necessary to judge the quality of newscast vs. quality of news.
I like the way you dropped "(s)he" in the sentence the way it should be used. Remarkably useful pronoun.
-
Murrow should have given up the cigarettes. We needed him in the late 1960s to take on Johnson and in 1970s to take on Nixon and Agnew.

When I listen to the articulate clarity of news reporter Edward R Murrow as he presents in that voice of his an invitation to contribute, which is really a mundane sort of speaking assignment, and I compare this to the sorts of drivel that our hugely salaried television news network anchor / readers do today, our modern situation makes me a little nauseated.
Let's see Katie Couric try to top THAT without a writer and a teleprompter.

The question poised in the introduction is the rhetorical fallacy either / or.
Neither the newscasters nor the networks determine entertainment value or news value. The audience makes that determination.
Today, we may view the kinescopes of Daly doing news and doing WML. We may also view the recordings of Murrow doing news and doing "Person to Person." The audience determines what it likes and trusts best -- because the audience is always right.

Whether or not News institutions "determine" what is valued as news, and whether or not audiences ever value News for something other than "newsworthiness" or entertainment value, it helps for each viewer to determine for one's self if (s)he finds any "newsvalue" and/or "entertainment value" in the News and news sources, no?
