I've never met a reporter with such a gleam in his eye for holding power to account in such a human and hopeful way. All of us at @bylinetimes.bsky.social are so sad to have lost David Hencke. He was a brilliant reporter, but perhaps more importantly: he was a really lovely man. Thank you, David!
Byline Times⚫ David Hencke: The Journalist Who Made Us All Better Byline Times tips its hat with love and gratitude to our acclaimed investigative reporter who has died aged 79. As Mark Conrad writes, "David spent his career holding powerful people to account. Yet he never behaved as though he were powerful".
