And the freelance journalist Matthew Power has died at the age of 39. Power was an award-winning travel reporter who filed dispatches from around the world for publications including Harper’s, Mother Jones and The New York Times. In his early years he also worked with us at Democracy Now! At the time of his death, he was on assignment in Uganda, where he apparently died of heat stroke. One of his last pieces, for GQ Magazine, told the story of a former U.S. drone pilot living with deep regret over his involvement in scores of remote killings. In a statement, the magazine Men’s Journal, for whom Power was working on his last assignment, said: “For more than a decade, Matthew Power packed a bag and found his way to some far-flung, often unpleasant, places to report quintessential stories and write them with a clarity and understated grace that most writers can only hope to achieve.”
