The Pioneer of Gonzo Journalism Dies

Hunter Thompson, author of 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas', has died on Sunday, Feb. 20th, at the age of 67. Dr. Thompson was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in his Colorado home. He was a profound critic of the Nixon administration and both Bush administrations, and a forerunner of the 'new journalism' movement, where a reporter places himself as a character in a narrative (loosely). We will miss Dr. Thompson's irreverent, wildman way of reporting events in America, and his death is a loss to us all.

Good Night, Hunter, Wherever You Are.
