| Summary: | Newspaper editor Joseph Boyce was born in 1937, in New Orleans, Louisiana, to Sadie Boyce. Boyce studied biology at Roosevelt University and attended the John Marshall School of Law in Chicago. He then spent six years in the Chicago Police Department before becoming the first African American to report for the Chicago Tribune in 1966. He moved to Time magazine in 1970, and became the first African American bureau chief in 1979, in San Francisco. Boyce later served as chief of the magazine's Atlanta bureau and deputy chief of the New York bureau. In 1987, he became senior editor for public and social policy at the Wall Street Journal, the first African American to hold that position. Boyce helped found the National Association of Minority Media Executives in 1991. He retired in 1999, and then taught at both the Columbia University School of Journalism and Indiana/Purdue University's Indianapolis School of Journalism.
