Felix Kubik, Jr., news photographer for WGN’s “Chicago Newsreel.” Photo dated September of 1948.
Kubik was a former still photographer for the Chicago Tribune who was lured over to the dark side…err the television side of photojournalism when WGN-TV set up their television newsroom in early 1948.
Two years later after this photo was shot, WGN’s then ND, Spencer Allen, wrote an article about his staff photogs – including Kubik, which can be found at this link.
