ABC - John Daly and the News | Full Broadcast (December 1, 1953)

'John Daly and the News' is unique because of its distinct editorial viewpoint. In place of the usual bits and pieces of unassayed news and news film, Daly places the major stories in perspective."--1953 Peabody Digest.
This episode's headlines include: Senator Joseph McCarthy holds a press conference on MIAs in Korea; Secretary of State John Foster Dulles responds to Senator McCarthy's attack on U.S. foreign policy regarding its allies; Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Vishinsky alleges American war crimes in Korea; Defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson proposes military cuts; the first telephone cable system for transatlantic calls is announced; newspaper and longshoremen strikes cause work stoppages in New York; ABC receives an award for its television coverage of the Coronation; and a Christmas tree is brought to the Rockefeller Center.

OMG....WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?! PLEASE LET US KNOW. LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF US WHO FOLLOW OLD TIME TV HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT ALL THESE KINESCOPES OF ABC NEWSCASTS WITH JOHN DALY HAD BEEN THROWN INTO THE EAST RIVER. WHAT IS REALLY AMAZING IS THAT YOU HAVE POSTED MORE THAN ONE! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

[@stewssman]

This is among the few John Daly kinescopes that are known to have survived. They were archived in the University of Georgia as these episodes were entries for the Peabody Award back since its original airing . There is supposedly one more besides those I posted, but according to its notes, it has been lost since the 1990s. I appreciate your comment. These are all I have.

Looks like the commercials are done live. Great to see and hear John Daly on his ABC newscast

[@allenjones3130]

John ranks as one of TV's finest newscasters. May he rest in peace.

John Daly paved the way for John Cameron Swayze, Ron Cochran, Peter Jennings x2, Frank Reynolds x2, Harry Reasoner, Charles Gibson, Diane Sawyer, and now David Muir

[@LaptopLarry330]

John Cameron Swayze was the news anchor at NBC News from 1948 to 1956, and also did some news anchor work for NBC Radio. Swayze went to ABC News in 1962 as part of a 3-news anchor team for about a year. They were all replaced by Ron Cochran, who was the news anchor of record during coverage of President Kennedy’s assassination in 1963.

Great Americans.

WOW! This is a real find. I've seen two of your ABC News (John Daly) uploads this morning, two more than I've ever seen before! Thanks so much for these and hope you have more (got any Douglas Edwards and the News)?
☺☺

[@stewssman]

Thanks for your comment. I am trying to look for more early newscasts. I will see if I can find any more Douglas Edward newscasts. Another John Daly upload may come up soon.

I’ve often wondered why or how it came to be that John Daly didn’t continue his career in news at CBS? He is in the history of audio recordings for his announcements of both the Pearl Harbor attack and the death of FDR for CBS Radio. I’ve never been able to dig up any reason why he left CBS in the 1940’s and joined ABC in 1953. Many broadcasting ‘nerds’ know quite well that at that time, ABC was a very weak network, always coming in a distant third in ratings, having fewer affiliates, etc…. I would not have expected anyone with a distinguished background would be willing to work for the network. For the years he hosted What’s My Line on CBS, he was a Goodson-Todman employee, so that is the only possible reason I can think of why CBS News would not hire him as he was in entertainment.

There's a Douglas Edwards CBS television newscast from May 15, 1952 on RUclips.

really rare

[@geraldbaker4019]

It's very ironic to hear Dulles talking about respecting other nation’s sovereign territory when he was at the forefront of the overthrowing of multiple government during the 1950s (2:20)

It was Hercules (or Heracles)
