Christopher Dickey, a foreign correspondent and editor whose authoritative dispatches on war, terrorism and espionage spanned continents and decades, died on Thursday in Paris. His death was reported by The Daily Beast, where he worked as the foreign editor. The cause was not immediately known, but his death was unexpected. Colleagues and competitors recalled him as a giant of the international press, whose mastery of sourcing and extensive travels made him among the most knowledgeable scribes on world affairs. He was said to be an enthusiastic mentor to young journalists, fine-tuning their copy and regaling them with stories of his past.
