Excerpt from Politco:
Most of you reading this newsletter didn’t know Blake Hounshell, but all of you were influenced by him.
He nurtured and mentored dozens of young journalists who now populate virtually every significant news organization. He plucked brilliant academics from obscurity and turned them into influential writers. He shaped the world of online political news, newsletters and social media for over a decade at Foreign Policy, POLITICO and The New York Times. He put together the current incarnation of Playbook. He helped create POLITICO Magazine. He taught beat reporters how to become longform storytellers. He relentlessly spotted and recruited new talent. He was a terrific reporter with a rare breadth of knowledge — just go read his archive of stories over the last two years at the Times.
“Blake had lots of insights,” our Sam Stein noted to us last night. “And observations. And advice. He was informed but inquisitive; hyperactive but not overbearing. Those were qualities that made him a great editor.
“What made him a brilliant one was that he loved to stir up shit. When … he hired me for the role of White House editor, he said he was eager to cause ‘some good trouble.’ He loved to push the envelope. He wanted to build: stories and newsrooms and products. And he did. Great ones. What a wonderful legacy to leave.”

How Did Blake Hounshell Die? What was the cause of his death?
The murder of political journalist Blake Hounshell on Tuesday surprised and saddened many people. Hounshell, 44, was a prominent person in the world of journalism and worked for The New York Times for over a decade. Despite his brief life, he had an extraordinary experience that included surviving a stroke, studying Arabic in Egypt, and having a loving family.

He grew raised in Delaware and Pittsburgh with two siblings. In 2002, he graduated from Yale University with a degree in political science before travelling to Egypt to learn and study Arabic. He met Sandy Choi there, and they later relocated to Washington, D.C., married, and had two children together.
Blake Hounshell Career
After graduating from Yale, Hounshell worked as an editorial assistant at Foreign Affairs magazine from 2003 to 2005 before becoming an editor at the New Republic later that year.

Blake Hounshell’s Personal Life
Hounshell survived a number of personal problems during his life, including surviving a stroke in 2000 while living in Cairo with Choi, who subsequently cared for him during his recuperation with his Egyptian friends there, whom they credited with saving his life. This experience taught them both valuable lessons about resilience, which helped shape both of their lives later, including when they relocated back to Washington D.C., got married years later (2008) with their Egyptian friends attending remotely via Skype due to visa requirements even after years apart since leaving Cairo, which was extremely special for them both! These same friends came over from Cairo when their first child was born! Definitely motivating!
