Life and careerBorn Israel Reuven Frank (he later dropped his first name) to a Jewish family in Montreal, Quebec, he earned a bachelor's degree in social science at City College of New York.[1][2] He served four years in the United States Army during World War II,[3] rising to the rank of sergeant. After completing his studies at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism,[1] he worked for three years at the Newark Evening News as a reporter, rewrite man and night city editor.[3] At the insistence of Gerald Green, he joined NBC News as a writer for the Camel News Caravan in 1950.[4] Frank was a key figure in bringing television news out of the shadow of radio news by emphasizing the importance of visuals in telling stories. He paired Chet Huntley and David Brinkley for the first time to co-anchor NBC's coverage of the 1956 Democratic and Republican National Conventions. Later that same year, he created the groundbreaking Huntley-Brinkley Report, and was its producer until 1964.[4] The national catchphrase "Good night, David" "Good night, Chet" was credited to Frank. Frank's documentaries included Emmy Award-winning report The Tunnel (1962) about the escape of 59 Germans through a passage under the Berlin Wall. It received the Emmy Award for program of the year, the only documentary ever so honored.[5] In the 1970s, he created and was executive producer of Weekend, a news magazine hosted by Lloyd Dobyns that originally aired one Saturday a month from 11:30 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. The program received a Peabody award. Linda Ellerbee later joined as co-host. Frank served two tenures as president of NBC News, from 1968 to 1974 and from 1982 to 1984, and mentored such journalists as Tom Brokaw, John Chancellor, Linda Ellerbee, and Andrea Mitchell. His memoir, Out of Thin Air: The Brief Wonderful Life of Network News, was published in 1991.[6] He believed that the news should only cover that which the viewers found interesting stating:[7]
Frank was a resident of Tenafly, New Jersey.[8] He died of pneumonia on February 5, 2006 at the age of 85.[9] He was a member of Temple Sinai of Bergen County.[2] Personal lifeIn 1946, he married to Bernice Kaplow; they had two sons: Peter Solomon Frank and James Aaron Frank.[10] Quotes
