Thank You, David Carr
David Carr died tonight at 58. He was an unthinkably talented journalist and a legend/hero/mentor/guardian angel to many. I never met the guy, but as a reporter I wanted more than anything to make him proud. The only person who could appropriately express how devastated the world is would be Carr himself.
He even took the time to respond to a nerdy fan email I sent him 2 years ago. I found the typos endearing.
Here is an archive of his work at the New York Times, and a round up of some great pieces written by and about him.
Thanks for everything.
