“David Garcia, the veteran television news reporter whose focus on environmental issues earned him the nickname “Earthman” and nudged other news outlets to increase their coverage of the environment, died of liver failure Tuesday at Eisenhower Medical Center in Palm Desert. He was 63.
“He carved out a niche before people really even paid attention to the environment,” said KNBC-TV anchor Colleen Williams, who worked with Garcia from the mid-1980s to the mid-’90s. “There will always only be one ‘Earthman.’ He started it for everyone, and he was really passionate about it. He would chase people down and say, ‘I’ve got this great story about . . . ‘ and it had to do with the environment.”
