Bob Franken Biography

Bob Franken, an Emmy Award-winning reporter, has covered national political campaigns, worldwide wars, and significant natural catastrophes for the past 30 years. He covered combat in both Iraq wars, the White House under George W. Bush, President Bill Clinton's impeachment hearings, the Supreme Court, and Capitol Hill. With significant on-the-ground reporting, he brought the world's attention to the Guantanamo Bay prison camp. Franken spent more than two decades at CNN, where he worked as a White House and Supreme Court reporter as well as a Capitol Hill correspondent. He covered major news stories such as the 9/11 terrorist attacks and a number of presidential and legislative elections. Franken began his broadcasting career in Marshfield, Wisconsin, where he was born in Baltimore, Maryland. In Cleveland, Ohio, he worked as a reporter and anchorman; in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he worked as a bureau manager for the NBC station; and in Washington, DC, he worked as a deputy assignment manager for CBS News. Franken's exclusive coverage of the rescue of Iraq War American POWs who had been given up for dead was one of his most memorable tales. By relaying the news from 8,000 kilometers away, he had the extraordinary pleasure of turning their families' anguish into pure delight.
