Steve Gilliard, 1964-2007
It is with tremendous sadness that we must convey the news that Steve Gilliard, editor and publisher of The News Blog, passed away June 2, 2007. He was 42.
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.
Please keep Steve's friends and family in your thoughts and prayers.
Steve meant so much to us.
We will miss him terribly.
Congrats to Josh Marshall and TPM
POST MASTERS: Josh Marshall, left, owns and runs TPM Media. Talking Points Memo also led in chronicling the scandals involving GOP lobbyist Jack Abramoff. “Hundreds of people out there send clips and other tips,” Marshall said. “There is some real information out there, some real expertise.” With him is reporter Paul Kiel.

Make sure you check out the great profile on Josh Marshall and Talking Points Memo from Saturday's LA Times. It's a great read, very flattering and even says the unspeakable: that electronic journalism is doing things that traditional print isn't covering - or following as they should.
Congrats to Josh and his team at TPM - one of my favorite sites, for sure.
