 NEW YORK (AP) - Reuven Frank, a former NBC News president and a pioneer of TV journalism, has died of complications from pneumonia. He was 85.
Frank, who joined NBC in 1950, twice held the news division's top job during his 38 years with the network (1968-73 and 1982-84). But it was as a producer that he left his greatest mark, at NBC as well as in his profession.
In charge of 1956 political convention coverage, Frank, a longtime Tenafly, N.J., resident who died Sunday, helped adapt the infant medium's newsgathering techniques from its radio past to a more visual approach.
