Life tends to be cyclical. Everything, fashion, music or economics -- eventually returns. And so did Don Canaan -- from a Bronx tenement to marriage, children, success in television newsfilm, immigration to Israel, re-marriage, two more children and a return to the U.S.A. and a new facet of journalism--print. Canaan's career dates to his appearance on Mike Wallace's NightBeat program. His news background covers four decades of history -- from 1960 until his departure from United Press International to become a Quality Editor for LexisNexis. From 1961-1974, Canaan edited newsfilm and documentaries for NBC News in New York, and in 1974 made aliyah as part of an American group planning to settle Yamit in the Sinai. When he returned to the U.S. film in TV news had become an anachronism -- a victim of American technology combined with Asian ingenuity. During three years overseas, 22 years of TV journalism experience disappeared beneath a tidal wave of progress. The Ohio State University's School of Journalism in Columbus, Ohio, came to the rescue with an offer to earn a master's degree while serving as an assistant in its TV news workshop. Then a terrific opportunity came up at the American Israelite. Canaan was brought on board as staff writer, copy editor and photographer. He enterprised stories that brought kudos from the community. His four-part series, "Jews in Ohio's Prisons: Does Anybody Care?" received a first place award for best weekly journalism in Ohio from the State of Ohio Bar Association. Every evening, Sunday through Thursday, Canaan compiles and edits IsraelNewsFaxx. This newsletter is sent to a selective clientele throughout the United States, as well as being posted at www,israelfaxx.com
