Moore and the other student scholars and fellowship recipient are also invited to Excellence in Journalism 2014, Sept. 4-6 in Nashville, Tenn. The scholarship is named for Bradley, the first African American at CBS to be a White House correspondent and a Sunday night anchor.

Moore was one of KYOT’s Coyote News anchors this fall and previously served as sports commentator and reporter for Coyote News. It was through his work as reporter for Coyote News that Moore developed a passion for storytelling. In his spare time he enjoys working with the University of South Dakota’s Union of African American Students as well as the USD Campus Activities Board.
