David Carr, the irrepressible media writer for the New York Times, died on Thursday night<\/a> at the age of 58, after a long career that saw him rise from the weekly papers in Minneapolis \u2014 where he worked while fighting a cocaine addiction \u2014 to the highest perch in the media industry. He was a friend to almost all who knew him, and mentored an entire generation of young journalists. I\u2019ve written a personal remembrance<\/a> of him, but here I\u2019ve collected some of the thoughts and memories of his friends and peers. There are more of them in a Storify module<\/a> I made.<\/p>\n

\n

The NYT is now confirming that David Carr has died. This is unfathomably sad news. He had so many things still to tell us.<\/p>\n
