John H. Taylor Jr., AS94M, respected journalist, community leader and UD alumnus, died on April 4, surrounded by family and friends. He was 71.
“John was a powerful voice of integrity in Delaware and an influential advocate of solid journalism in the state. He welcomed University of Delaware students to The News Journal newsroom as journalism interns, offering them the sage experience of
decades holding the state’s leaders accountable. In his earlier years, John was a significant—sometimes controversial—voice for integration in Delaware, and throughout his life was an unflinching advocate for better public schools in the state.” z
—Ralph Begleiter, professor of communication and director of the Center for Political Communication
