Baltimore Sun Remembers Jack Germond

Longtime newspaperman Jack Germond died this morning at 4 a.m. of chronic pulmonary disease. He was 85.

The Baltimore Sun, where Germond worked for about two decades, ran his obit with an accompanying video this morning. Noteworthy details: There will be no funeral service; his ashes will be strewn in the Shenandoah River.

Excerpt:

“I started covering politics in the 1980 presidential campaign for Newsday and Jack was the sage when it came to politics. He was the guy you went to when you were a junior reporter,” said Susan Page, the Washington bureau chief for USA Today.
