Norman Moyes, a journalism professor emeritus at COM and a former editor at the Boston Herald, passed away this month. He was 89.<\/p>\n
Well-regarded in the classroom, Moyes taught for more than 35 years and was a finalist for Boston University\u2019s Metcalf Cup and Prize for Excellence in Teaching. One of his students, Andy Cohen (\u201890), who later gained success at Bravo TV and as the executive producer for The Real Housewives franchise, recalled how Moyes taught him to think big.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t know I would end up at CBS News for 10 years, meeting all my idols along the way, and become the ringleader of a reality soap opera,\u201d Cohen said in an interview for BU Today<\/a> in 2012. \u201cDr. Moyes taught me to just go for it \u2014 what\u2019s the worst that can happen? That really opened up a whole thing for me \u2014 and I was never short on confidence \u2014 where I thought, there\u2019s a door, I want to walk through it.\u201d<\/p>\n Moyes wrote for Life, Time, and Sports Illustrated magazines and is the author of the student textbook, Journalism<\/a>. He served as a U.S. Army combat photographer, and his photos were collected in the books Battle Eye<\/a> and American Combat Photography<\/a>.<\/p>\n
