Rick Rodriguez, Carnegie Professor of Journalism, Arizona State University, and former executive editor and senior vice president, Sacramento Bee:
"Steve was a valued employee and colleague. He is extremely dedicated, as hard-working as they come and always strives to do his best. He is honest, ethical and in his own quiet way is a leader who takes responsibility for the tasks at hand.
"I highly recommend Steve Blust and would hire him again if I had the opportunity."

Tim Hager, former features editor, Beaufort (S.C.) Gazette:
"I started at the Beaufort Gazette confident that, at that stage in my career, I did not have much to learn. But working with Steve, I soon realized how naive I was.
"He is the best copy editor I've ever worked with in terms of singular knowledge of AP Style and grammar. As the leader of the newsroom, he brought vision and a steady hand. Plus, his enthusiasm for his profession, his employees and the community at large, was inspiring.
"Every business should have a Steve Blust. He made me a better journalist."
