Fred S. Hoffman, a longtime Associated Press reporter who covered the Defense Department for more than two decades and was a Pulitzer Prize finalist for an investigation into the black market in Vietnam, died June 24 at his home in Alexandria. He was 100.
Well known within the Pentagon, Mr. Hoffman was recalled as a tough, enterprising, ethical and tireless reporter. He spent nearly four decades in the news business, including 36 years
“He was a giant among Pentagon reporters,” said Robert Burns, a retired AP national security correspondent. “I don’t think some people knew about how good he was at reading things upside down,” she said. “He’d be chatting with some official and they’d have something on their desk, and he’d read it, memorize it and have a good story.”She said his “guiding principle was ‘go there.’ Don’t sit at your desk or wait for the phone calls or make phone calls. Go, hit the hallways and make the rounds and talk to people in person.
The Pentagon award recognized his service as Weinberger’s spokesman. He served in that role for four years and spearheaded changes in the press pool system to ensure journalists could get to the front lines quickly.
