Bill Moyers, a legend in the world of journalism and a longtime member of the extended PBS family, has died at the age of 91.

Moyers was perhaps best known for the long-running programs and documentaries he produced at PBS, including "Bill Moyers Journal" and "Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth."

For more on Moyers' life and career, @GeoffRBennett speaks to @okapifilm and @WmBrangham.
