Irving R. Levine

Irving R. Levine

Irving R. Levine (August 26, 1922 - ) was born in Pawtucket, Rhode Island and is a former journalist for NBC. During his 35-year career, he reported from over two dozen countries, which led to him becoming the first foreign correspondent accredited in the Soviet Union (as a result of which he wrote three best-selling non-fiction books on life in the USSR). Mr. Levine is currently the Dean Emeritus of Lynn University's School of International Communication in Boca Raton, Florida.

Time magazine described him as a "pioneer" in economics reporting on television.

Levine is famed for his impeccable grammar and diction leading to a self-mocking appearance on "Saturday Night Live". He is also known for wearing bow ties when reporting on screen. He has also appeared on "Murphy Brown" and on David Letterman and Jay Leno's shows.
