I’m heartbroken by the death of one of my former @washingtonpost editors @DanEggenDC, who steered our coverage of the 2016 presidential campaign. His infectious delight at every twist and turn, his knack for nailing the “so what” of every story, and his pursuit of even more colorful, unique detail made my work and that of dozens of colleagues stronger. Before editing, he wrote definitive stories on the early hours and days of the 9/11 attacks. As former colleague @jdawsey1 says in Eggen’s obit, “Dan is one of those people who make the newspaper work.” Rest well, Dan. washingtonpost.com/obituarie…
