Hi influence:
Thanks for the interesting question!
While there is not a whole lot of biographical information on the web
about Jon Frankel, I was able to uncover some material. First, you
should know that Jon no longer works for ABC, having moved to CBS's
"The Early Show". Jon also previously worked for NBC - so he's hit all
the big networks.
A short bio of Jon's professional and scholastic achievements can be
found at:
CBS News: Jon Frankel

I also found some interesting family information in a bio of Jon's
brother, David - a comedy writer and director. Apparently, David based
a character of his on his brother Jon. Read more at:

While sleuthing there, I discovered that Jon's father, Max Frankel,
was a famous New York Times reporter/editor. He wrote an autobiography
entitled "The Times of My Life and My Life with The Times" in 1999.
There is bound to be information on his family in this book.
