Ravish Tiwari, National Political Editor and Chief of National Bureau of The Indian Express, whose journalism blended scholarship with reporting rigour to explain change in politics and society, died Saturday(19th Feb 2022) morning. He had been fighting cancer since June 2020. He was 40 and is survived by his wife, his parents, and a brother.
 
Tiwari led a team of senior journalists at The Indian Express who covered the Union Government, including state and national elections, the Prime Minister’s Office, national security, strategic affairs, diplomacy, health, education, environment and infrastructure. Leading from the front as a reporter and an editor, he had travelled and reported from extensively across the country on rural affairs, agriculture, politics and, most recently, the UP election campaign.
 
“Ravish’s was a rare, unique voice in our profession. In the polarised world which much of political journalism inhabits, never once did he seek the comfort of an echo chamber. He listened to all because he knew that was the best way and the only way to keep a finger on the nation’s political pulse and explain it to our readers and audiences,” said Chairman of the Express Group Viveck Goenka. “We deeply mourn his loss. Ravish will live in his work and his values which will be an enduring inspiration for the political team in the newsroom and beyond.”
