News


Bryce Nelson, a longtime USC journalism professor, died Aug. 20, 2022, of complications from Parkinson’s disease, the Los Angeles Times reports. He was 84.

Nelson, a former Times reporter and former director of the journalism school, was an oft-quoted source for articles about the news business or journalistic ethics.

“Bryce had a very strong moral center,” said USC journalism professor Joe Saltzman, a former colleague. “He wasn’t swayed by trends. He wasn’t swayed by what’s popular today.”
