Collection-level Scope and Content Note

From the Collection:

This collection contains the working papers of Frank Reynolds, television news reporter and anchorman of the ABC News evening news program from 1978 until his death in 1983.

The Frank Reynolds Papers contain an extensive collection of correspondence from viewers of his news programs, and will provide an excellent source of information on public reaction to important news stories. Events particularly well represented include: Space missions, the controversy surrounding Vice President Agnew's attacks on the news media, the Watergate scandal, the Iran hostage crisis, the visit of Pope John-Paul II to the United States, and reaction to Reynolds' many commentaries. The papers also contain a large number of pages of Reynolds' manuscript notes on his coverage of the Senate and House Watergate hearings, and the other events surrounding the scandal. Also included are copies of many of Reynolds' commentaries, from both radio and television, and timing scripts for many of the news programs he anchored. Reynolds' many speaking engagements and other activities are also covered, as well as internal ABC News policies and administration.
