Steve Gilliard, 1966-2007
It is with tremendous sadness that we must convey the news that Steve Gilliard, editor and publisher of The News Blog, passed away early this morning. He was 41.
To those who have come to trust The News Blog and its insightful, brash and unapologetic editorial tone, we have Steve to thank from the bottom of our hearts. Steve helped lead many discussions that mattered to all of us, and he tackled subjects and interest categories where others feared to tread.
We will post more information as it becomes available to us.
Please keep Steve’s friends and family in your thoughts and prayers.
Steve meant so much to us. We will miss him terribly.

Those of us who knew Steve only online will be missing him, too. My prayers are with Jen and the rest of Steve’s family and friends. Jane has written a lovely tribute.
Thank you, Steve, for everything you gave us.
