We at Harper’s Magazine are saddened by the loss of our friend Matthew Power. Sixteen years ago, Matt was an intern at the magazine, and since then he’s reported eight smart, brave, funny, and important stories for us. He was both brilliant at his craft and a hell of a good guy, which makes his death all the harder to bear.

“Slipping through the Net” (April 2012)
“Ghosts of Wounded Knee” (December 2009)
“Mississippi Drift” (March 2008)
