• Radio brought the news directly into listeners’ living rooms. Among the major news stories broken on radio: the Scopes monkey trial, carried live by Chicago station WGN in 1925; the Hindenburg zeppelin disaster, covered by WLS Chicago in 1937; and Edward R. Murrow’s CBS reports on the Blitz of Britain, airing in 1940.
