Howard Fineman, a well-known Washington journalist, passed away at 75 after a battle with pancreatic cancer. He was a prolific writer and a familiar face on MSNBC, Newsweek, and HuffPost.
Fineman had a relentless work ethic and was constantly in motion, always contributing to the day's conversation. He mentioned transitioning from manual typewriters to Twitter and joked about trying skywriting before his passing.
Despite his terminal illness, Fineman had an adventurous spirit and was always eager to chase stories. He was described as having a 'gravitational pull' and was involved in various media platforms throughout his career.
A respected mentor and colleague, Fineman helped others in their careers, including assisting with internships and supporting aspiring journalists. His book 'The Thirteen American Arguments' was a bestseller despite his self-criticism of being 'classically overwrought.'
