Born and raised in Quincy, Massachusetts, he served with the 37th Infantry Division during World War II on Bougainville and in the Philippines, and was awarded the Bronze Star. He then embarked on a journalism career in 1948 at the Boston Globe. He wrote the 1959 non-fiction bestseller Holocaust! and moved to radio broadcasting shortly thereafter, starting at WEEI in September 1960. He then worked at most of Boston’s big news stations, including WHDH, WBZ, and WRKO, and also wrote a column for the Boston Herald Traveler from 1964-1969. He spent a year at Chicago station WLS-TV, returning to Boston in 1971.
In the 1970s, Mr. Benzaquin became interested in early childhood development and produced a long-running series for WEEI called “Being a Baby”. The broadcasts featured his reporting on a group of babies from Marshfield, Massachusetts and also featured experts such as Harvard psychologist Burton White. He later hosted a light night television talk show on WBZ-TV and then worked for WRKO from 1992-1996.
He was inducted into the Massachusetts Broadcasters Hall of Fame in 2007.
Benzaquin died in 2013 at the age of 90.lihat lebih sedikit
