Bill Moyers to retire
NYT scribe Elizabeth Jensen is reporting that Bill Moyers will retire from weekly television next April, when he ends "Bill Moyers Journal."
Here's the pull quote from the Times:
“I am 75 years old,” he said of the decision to end the series, which began in April 2007. The program has recently been having a “good run of it,” he added in a telephone interview on Friday, “so I feel it’s time.”
This isn't quite Oprah-esque, but...Moyers is one of the TV journalism greats: A reporter of enormous integrity whose work (along with "Frontline" and "60 Minutes") ranks with some of the best on TV.
And has for years.
Big loss for PBS. And for viewers.
