Roy Beck, a native of the Ozarks who studied journalism at the University of Missouri, was a pioneer in the field of environmental reporting in the United States throughout the 1960s and 1970s.
One of Roy Beck many honors is a U.S. Army Achievement Medal (non-combat) and a number of other accolades for his coverage of quasi humanitarian activities, population growth, and commerce and religion.

The New York Times, Washington Post, Boston Herald, Christian Science Watch, New York Newsday, Los Angeles Times, and Journal of Policy History are among the many newspapers that have included his byline.
An article Roy Beck wrote for The Atlantic Monthly called “Ordeal of Migration in Wausau” is listed in the Encyclopedia Britannica’s “The Chronicles of America” as one of the most significant works of the decade. Those reports, the books, and “charts & gumballs” videos (which have been viewed more than 150 thousand times on YouTube and Facebook) spawned a website and a grassroots organization to promote and use it in 1996, when the NumbersUSA website went live.
NumbersUSA studies, which Roy co-authored and has presented at conferences such as the National Organization of Cabinet secretaries, The Environmental American association, The American Planners Society and the Society for Ecological Journalists since 2000 have been cited by Roy. Those studies on the loss of wildlife, ecosystems, and cropland owing to population increase in the United States have been mentioned by UN agencies such as UNEP and UNFPA.
