Bill Moyers, Friend of SEJ, Dead at 91 [44]

Bill Moyers, a great American who proudly called himself an environmental journalist, died June 26, 2025. He was one of SEJ’s “angels,” helping the organization to survive difficult times — first by inspiring us and second by engineering a major sustaining grant from the Schumann Foundation. Moyers also delivered the Keynote at SEJ's 2005 annual conference in Austin, Texas.
