Since his inception, Manning Franks has had a cinematic glint in his eye. He has always loved and cherished the medium of film since he could check-out VHS’s at his local library. Cut to years later, Manning now works as an Emmy-nominated photojournalist and critic for WFMY News 2 in Greensboro, N.C.—his hometown.
During his time at News 2, Manning created the segment known as “News 2 Reviews” where he currently writes, films, and edits movie reviews as on-air talent in the Piedmont Triad area. His goal is to make reviews both accessible and thought-provoking for a general viewing audience.
Before joining WFMY News 2, Manning graduated from High Point University with a B.A. in Communication. In his spare time, he hosts an Oscars-themed podcast for Take 3 Productions called “Gone With The Win.”
