Warren James Hinckle III (October 12, 1938 – August 25, 2016) was an American political journalist based in San Francisco. Hinckle is remembered for his tenure as editor of Ramparts magazine, turning a sleepy publication aimed at a liberal Roman Catholic audience into a major galvanizing force of American radicalism during the Vietnam War era. He also helped create Gonzo journalism (Bill Cardoso) by first pairing Hunter S. Thompson with illustrator Ralph Steadman, for The Kentucky Derby is Decadent and Depraved.
