NEW YORK (AP) 鈥� Bill Moyers, the former White House press secretary who became one of television鈥檚 most honored journalists, masterfully using a visual medium to illuminate a world of ideas, died Thursday at age 91.

Moyer died in a New York City hospital, according to longtime friend Tom Johnson, the former CEO of CNN and an assistant to Moyers during Lyndon B. Johnson’s administration.

Moyer鈥檚 career ranged from youthful Baptist minister to deputy director of the Peace Corps, from Johnson鈥檚 press secretary to newspaper publisher, senior news analyst for 鈥淭he CBS Evening News鈥� and chief correspondent for 鈥淐BS Reports.鈥�

But it was for public television that Moyers produced some of TV鈥檚 most cerebral and provocative series. In hundreds of hours of PBS programs, he proved at home with subjects ranging from government corruption to modern dance, from drug addiction to media consolidation, from religion to environmental abuse.

In 1988, Moyers produced 鈥淭he Secret Government鈥� about the Iran-Contra scandal during the Reagan administration and simultaneously published a book under the same name. Around that time, he galvanized viewers with 鈥淛oseph Campbell and the Power of Myth,鈥� a series of six one-hour interviews with the prominent religious scholar. The accompanying book became a best-seller.
