After Murrow's death, the Edward R. Murrow Center of Public Diplomacy was established at [[Tufts University]]'s [[Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy]]. Murrow's library and selected artifacts are housed in the Murrow Memorial Reading Room that also serves as a special seminar classroom and meeting room for Fletcher activities. Murrow's papers are available for research at the [http://dca.tufts.edu Digital Collections and Archives] at Tufts, which has a [https://wikis.uit.tufts.edu/confluence/display/MurrowCollection/Home website] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100618080410/http://wikis.uit.tufts.edu/confluence/display/MurrowCollection/Home |date=June 18, 2010 }} for the collection and makes many of the digitized papers available through the Tufts Digital Library.

The center awards Murrow [[Fellow#Graduate school fellowships|fellowships]] to mid-career professionals who engage in research at Fletcher, ranging from the impact of the [[New World Information Order]] debate in the international media during the 1970s and 1980s to current telecommunications policies and regulations. Many distinguished journalists, diplomats, and policymakers have spent time at the center, among them [[David Halberstam]], who worked on his [[Pulitzer Prize]]-winning 1972 book, ''[[The Best and the Brightest]]'', as a writer-in-residence.

Veteran journalist [[Crocker Snow Jr.]] was named director of the Murrow Center in 2005.

In 1971 the RTNDA (Now Radio Television Digital News Association) established the [[Edward R. Murrow Award (Radio Television Digital News Association)|Edward R. Murrow Awards]], honoring outstanding achievement in the field of electronic journalism. There are four other awards also known as the "[[Edward R. Murrow Award (disambiguation)|Edward R. Murrow Award]]", including [[Edward R. Murrow Award (Washington State University)|the one]] at Washington State University.

In 1973, Murrow's alma mater, [[Washington State University]], dedicated its expanded communication facilities the Edward R. Murrow Communications Center and established the annual Edward R. Murrow Symposium.<ref name="wsu1">{{cite web| url=http://communication.wsu.edu/overview/history/history2.htm| title=Murrow College History 1973–1980| publisher=Washington State University| author=Ryan Thomas| access-date=August 11, 2012| url-status=dead| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120308045750/http://communication.wsu.edu/overview/history/history2.htm| archive-date=March 8, 2012}}</ref> In 1990, the WSU Department of Communications became the Edward R.

Several movies were filmed, either completely or partly about Murrow. In 1986, [[HBO]] broadcast the made-for-cable biographical movie, ''[[Murrow (film)|Murrow]]'', with [[Daniel J. Travanti]] in the title role, and [[Robert Vaughn]] in a supporting role. In the 1999 film ''[[The Insider (film)|The Insider]]'', [[Lowell Bergman]], a television producer for the CBS news magazine ''[[60 Minutes]]'', played by [[Al Pacino]], is confronted by [[Mike Wallace]], played by [[Christopher Plummer]], after an exposé of the tobacco industry is edited down to suit CBS management and then, itself, gets exposed in the press for the self-censorship. Wallace passes Bergman an editorial printed in ''[[The New York Times]]'', which accuses CBS of betraying the legacy of Edward R. Murrow. ''[[Good Night, and Good Luck]]'' is a 2005 [[Academy Award|Oscar]]-nominated film directed, co-starring and co-written by [[George Clooney]] about the conflict between Murrow and Joseph McCarthy on ''See It Now''. Murrow is portrayed by actor [[David Strathairn]], who received an [[Academy Awards|Oscar]] nomination. In the film, Murrow's conflict with CBS boss William Paley occurs immediately after his skirmish with McCarthy.

In 2003, [[Fleetwood Mac]] released their album ''[[Say You Will (album)|Say You Will]]'', featuring the track "[[Murrow Turning Over in His Grave]]". On the track, [[Lindsey Buckingham]] reflects on current news media and claims "Ed Murrow" would be shocked at the bias and sensationalism displayed by reporters in the new century if he was alive.

In 2023, a historical novel ''The War Begins in Paris''<ref>{{Cite book |last=Wheeler |first=Theodore |url=https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_War_Begins_in_Paris/JQKyEAAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=murrow |title=The War Begins in Paris |date=2023-11-14 |publisher=Little, Brown |isbn=978-0-316-56369-7 |language=en}}</ref> featured several scenes with fictionalized versions of Murrow and Shirer among a group of American journalists who gathered in Paris following the Munich Accord.

In 2024, it was announced a [[Good Night, and Good Luck (play)|stage adaptation]] of the film ''Good Night, and Good Luck'' co-written and starring George Clooney and directed by [[David Cromer]] will debut on Broadway.<ref>{{cite web|magazine=[[Playbill]]|url=https://playbill.com/article/george-clooney-will-star-in-broadway-adaptation-of-good-night-and-good-luck|title=George Clooney Will Star in Broadway Adaptation of Good Night, and Good Luck|author=Culwell-Block, Logan|date=May 13, 2024}}</ref>
