Manning Franks

Primary Outlet:
News 2 Reviews on WFMY News 2 (CBS - Greensboro, North Carolina)
Biography:
From the moment Manning Franks could check out VHS tapes from his local library, he’s had a cinematic spark in his eye. That lifelong love of film eventually led him to become an Emmy-nominated photojournalist and film critic for WFMY News 2 in his hometown of Greensboro, North Carolina. At WFMY, Franks created News 2 Reviews, a segment where he writes, films, and edits movie reviews as on-air talent in the Piedmont-Triad with a mission to make film criticism engaging, accessible, and thoughtful for everyday viewers. Beyond film, he also serves as a multi-skilled journalist, telling uplifting, community-centered stories that spotlight the people and places of North Carolina. In addition to being a part of the CCA, he's also been a proud member of the North Carolina Film Critics Association since 2022. He is a graduate of High Point University, where he earned a B.A. in Communication. He now lives in Greensboro with his partner, Kimmie Nauman.
