This is excellent. For our purposes, I'm most interested in the mid-20th Century "red scare" phenomenon in the U.S.-- and the role of the media in its growth (i.e., reporting allegations without much due diligence) and in the work of Edward R. Murrow and Fred Friendly at CBS in exposing the way Sen. Joseph McCarthy had successfully smeared a U.S. soldier.
