As from a fews hours ago it's not just the blogosphere that's a become poorer place.

The sad truth is that the whole wide world is now missing one more media hero.

A big man - in more ways than one - died this day.

Steve Gilliard of The News Blog - is gone - aged only 41.

We wish to offer our deepest sympathies and sincerest condolences to all Steve's loved ones.
