This article explores the role journalism has played for broadcasting news during the fight for civil rights in Birmingham, Alabama. During those periods, a new kind of journalism has been invented to assure the effectiveness of communication for dynamism of those movements. A six-hour broadcast audio series named "Birmingham, A Testament of Non-Violence," produced by Jack Summe&ruml;field for New York States's FM radio station, WRVR, was initiated. This series had explored the day-to-day proceedings by broadcasting audio-tapes recording of various movement related meetings.
