David Moberg, a Chicago-based writer and editor for In These Times, died on July 17 in his Hyde Park home of complications from Parkinson’s disease. He was 78.
David Moberg was a Chicago-based writer and editor at the magazine In These Times who was nationally known for his work on labor issues.
He was on hand for both the May 1968 student protests in Paris and the August 1968 protests in Chicago at the Democratic National Convention, fueling his interest in the power of such actions. For the next 40 years, Moberg covered labor for In These Times, and he traveled widely to do so, covering everything from the Jonestown Massacre in Guyana in 1978 to the protests at the World Trade Organization summit in Seattle in 1999.
“He kind of snuck up on you,” Muwakkil said. “But you saw the truth in what he was saying. And what really attracted me to his writing — and I was attracted to it even before I got to In These Times — was his dedication to making his point rather than flashing any kind of writerly chops.”Former In These Times writer John Judis called Moberg “dogged as a reporter,” and noted that Moberg’s work “was always informed by a wide knowledge of history and economics.
