David Nyhan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David Nyhan (born Charles David Nyhan, Jr.) (1940–January 23, 2005) was a journalist and biographer whose op-ed column ran in The Boston Globe newspaper for many years.
A tall man at 6'4", Nyhan's writing has been described as "fiercely liberal." He died suddenly, suffering a heart attack after shoveling snow. His wife, Olivia, brought him to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead on January 23, 2005.[1]
The Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics, and Public Policy at Harvard University established the David Nyhan Prize for Political Journalism in his honor. The first recipient of the prize was Molly Ivins in 2006.[2]
