As publishing moves further into interactive digital realms, that will only increase.
It is with this in mind that we here at Publishing Business Today mourn the loss of Mr. Grulke. You can read Mr. Grulke's obituary at the SXSW site and at the New York Times, as well as warm remembrances from his friends and former colleagues at the Austin Chronicle, the alt-weekly where he once served as music editor, and the SXSW festival, which has set up an education fund for Grulke's son, Graham.
