Steven Komarow, CQ Roll Call's executive editor and a longtime Associated Press and USA Today journalist steeped in the ways of Washington and war, has died at 61. Komarow died in a hospital Sunday after a long illness complicated by a recent accident, his employer said. In 2015, he joined CQ Roll Call as vice president and news director before his elevation a year later to executive editor and senior vice president. Komarow also worked for a dozen years for USA Today, covering wars in Afghanistan and Iraq before returning to the AP as assistant and then deputy international editor. "Almost everyone mentions his calmness," said John Daniszewski, AP vice president and editor at large for standards.
