Chris Power, a longtime journalist at BusinessWeek magazine, died Monday night.
Power had been assistant managing editor for international coverage.
Based in New York, Power was responsible for overseeing international coverage in BusinessWeek’s global print edition, managing and collaborating with both print and online editors.
“Chris was one of the most brilliant people I’ve ever known and an editor of extraordinary talent, whose gift for shaping stories made him a joy to work with,” wrote former colleague Andy Reinhardt on Facebook. “He guided our international coverage for years and did us proud every week.”
He joined BusinessWeek in 1986 as a staff editor and also served as international deputy managing editor. He was previously a transportation editor, marketing editor and international news department editor.
In 1998, he was part of a team that won an Overseas Press Club award for coverage in Indonesia.
