Brooklyn lost a tireless chronicler early Tuesday morning as Henrik Krogius – world traveler, Emmy-award winning NBC news producer and editor of the Brooklyn Heights Press and Cobble-Hill News for 22 of Brooklyn’s most transformative years – passed away at the age of 87.
Krogius had been struggling with prostate cancer, according to his wife Elaine Taylor Krogius.
Krogius served for 27 years as a writer and producer for NBC News and its New York affiliate and was for some eight years the producer of the 11 O’Clock News in New York. His work brought him into contact with such broadcast luminaries as Mike Wallace, Frank McGee, Edwin Newman, Chet Huntley, David Brinkley, Tom Brokaw and Chuck Scarborough.
