Had never worked for or with Blake. I'm not a journalist.

Different perspective.

But, I think I can safely say that I've worked with a lot of them in ~20yrs of my career. Over those years, I've seen all kinds.

Blake was what I still think of as a reporters-reporter.

(2/x) He knew what people would care to read (hard to do) and WHY they should care to read about it (even harder to do).

He'd write/edit/tweet shit that drove me nuts (and wanted hidden from view) and shit that I wish the world could see.

A rare talent. And a good human.
