Broadcast Pioneers















Marvin Kalb (1930-) is an American journalist who spent thirty years as an award-winning reporter for CBS News and NBC News. Kalb was the last newsman recruited by Edward R. Murrow to join CBS News, becoming part of the new generation of the "Murrow Boys." At NBC, he served as chief diplomatic correspondent and host of Meet the Press for two years in the mid-eighties. During Kalb's tenure at both networks, his brother Bernard Kalb worked alongside him. Kalb has authored or co-authored several nonfiction books, a few published by the Brookings Institution Press. His latest book, published in 2021, is "Assignment Russia." Kalb is the Edward R. Murrow Professor Emeritus at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government and is currently a nonresident senior fellow with the Foreign Policy program at Brookings.
