Former White House press secretary Bill Moyers died on Thursday at the age of 91 after a “long illness.”

His death was confirmed by Tom Johnson, CNN’s former CEO and close friend, according to The Associated Press.

Moyers served under former President Lyndon B. Johnson, where he helped create the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and eventually curated informational programming for PBS.

Prior to his role at the White House, Moyers helped bolster the Peace Corps as its first associate director of public affairs.

“We knew from the beginning that the Peace Corps was not an agency, program, or mission. Now we know — from those who lived and died for it — that it is a way of being in the world,” he wrote of the government agency in an article reflecting on its success.

After years of service in the federal government, Moyers was hired to be a senior news analyst for “The CBS Evening News” and chief correspondent for “CBS Reports.”
