David Franz Schoenbrun (March 15, 1915 – May 23, 1988) was an American broadcast journalist.

Biography[]

Schoenbrun was born in New York City in 1915. He began his career teaching French.[1]

Schoenbrun enlisted in the Army in 1943 and became a World War II correspondent covering North Africa through to the liberation of France, for which he was decorated with the Croix de Guerre and the Legion of Honour.[2]

After the war, from 1947 to 1964, Schoenbrun worked for CBS, serving primarily as the network's bureau chief in Paris, where he met and interviewed the President Charles de Gaulle a number of times. He was one of the reporters known as Murrow's Boys.[3]

In 1959, at the age of 44, Schoenbrun received the Alfred I. duPont Award.[4]

From the 1960s through the 1980s, Schoenbrun served as a news analyst for WNEW Radio in New York (now WBBR) and other Metromedia broadcast properties, and later for crosstown WPIX Television and its Independent Network News operation. In the mid-1970s, he served as a foreign affairs analyst for a short-lived public television channel in Los Angeles.[citation needed]

Schoenbrun is the author of On and Off the Air, a personal account of the history of CBS News through the 1970s. Schoenbrun also wrote several books concerning World-War-II-era France and other works drawn from his experiences as a newsman.

Schoenbrun died of a heart attack in New York City, at the age of 73.[1]
