Excerpts:

 

Blake Hounshell, who was a top editor at Foreign Policy magazine and Politico before moving in 2021 to The Times, passed away in Washington DC on Tuesday. A police official has said his death will be investigated as a suicide.

 

His death prompted an outpouring of grief and admiration from fellow journalists, as well as politicians.

 

'The @politico newsroom is in anguish. Blake Hounshell had a dazzling mind, full of original insights about a vast array of subjects,' John Harris, a founding editor of Politico, wrote on Twitter.

 

'He was a deeply idealistic and curious man with an exhilarating ability to perceive both patterns and contradictions in the news.'

 

In his last On Politics newsletter, published on Monday, Hounshell looked at the death penalty in California and the political pressure the issue was exerting on its governor Gavin Newsom. On Friday he wrote about how the Republican party is struggling to draw young voters.
