Hillery Eugene "Gene" Price, an honored journalist whose career spanned nearly six decades, died Wednesday. He was 90.

Gene Price became editor emeritus at the Goldsboro News-Argus after a nearly 50-year career during which he served as managing editor as well as editor.

Price also worked as press secretary for U.S. Rep. Herbert C. Bonner in the late 1940s and was chief of an artillery firing battery with the 28th Infantry Division in Europe during the Korean War.

Five governors appointed him to major state commissions, among them the North Carolina Seashore Commission, which led to the creation of the Cape Lookout National Park in 1966.

His journalistic achievements were recognized in 2011 by his induction into the University of North Carolina's Media and Journalism Hall of Fame.

Can I have a quid for every media outlet that uses the term "doyen" please?

 

Made me dig out the quote I posted in 2015 ideas and possibilities thread, from when he interviewed Joe Bugner back in the day.

 

    

    Joe Bugner: Get me Jesus Christ and I'll fight him tomorrow!

     

    Mcllvanney: Joe, you're only saying that because you know he's got bad hands

David Horowitz, a one-time consumer advocate and host of the syndicated TV series 'Fight Back! with David Horowitz' who'd later swing 180 degrees and become a conservative journalist and founder & president of the think tank 'the David Horowitz Freedom Center', has died.  He was 81.  (A unique DDP pick, too.)

Actually it's a different David Horowitz. The freedom center one is alive and only 80.

Could've sworn they were the same guy (given they share a name & age proximity), with the deceased Mr. Horowitz having gone through an ideological transformation.  You are correct, though.  I guess the gentleman who died - and whose show I used to watch - retired from public life awhile ago.   Thanks for the clarification. :mellow:
