Jim Hoagland, a Washington Post journalist whose intrepid reporting and erudite columns were twice honored with the Pulitzer Prize and made him for decades a leading voice in world affairs, died Nov. 4 at a hospital in Washington. He was 84.
Mr. Hoagland began his education in a two-room schoolhouse in South Carolina and first traveled abroad after college on a Rotary scholarship that took him to France. He found in newspapering a means to see and understand the world and was hired in 1966 at The Post, where he distinguished himself early on as one of the premier foreign correspondents of his generation.
