David Carr, an influential media columnist for the New York Times recently named a Boston University media professor, collapsed and died while working in the newspaper's offices last night, the New York Times reported.
The 58-year-old married father of three wrote the Media Equation column for the newspaper which consisted of "media as it intersects with business, culture, and government," the paper stated.
Carr, who had written about the media for the past 25 years, joined the New York Times in 2002 as a business reporter, covering magazine publishing. He had previously been a contributor to The Atlantic Monthly and New York magazine, and a media writer for Inside.com, a website focusing on the business of entertainment and publishing, the Times reported.
Carr and his wife, Jill Rooney Carr, lived in Montclair, N.J. with their daughter Maddie. He also has twin daughters, Erin and Meagan, the paper reported.
Carr's memoir of his own battle with drug addiction, "The Night of the Gun," was published in 2008 by Simon and Schuster, the Times said.
"The book is a memoir of addiction and recovery that used reporting to fact-check the past," the paper reported. "Much of the data he collected, including videos, documents and pictures is available online."
Carr had recently been selected to teach at Boston University, where fellow professor Tobe Berkovitz called him a massive presence in media circles.
"He really was the premier writer and critic and analyst of all things media," Berkovitz said. "He was highly respected and followed by everyone in the media. He really was the must read for people in the media. He was a huge influence on how people looked at the media and all the changes going on. When the Brian Williams story was breaking, you wondered what David Carr was going to say."
The university had said "Carr will spend the spring semester developing his curriculum for two classes to be taught next year, one in the fall semester and one in spring 2015."
A university spokesman could not be reached last night for comment.
