Thank You to ALL the Media in the Tampa Bay Area !


The amount of community and non-profit events happening in Tampa on a weekly basis is staggering.

Our websites: TAMPAGOLD.COM and SOHOTAMPA.COM try to provide as much information as we can about these. But sometimes it is just not possible.

Recently we received an email from someone taking us to task for not promoting their event. While we had the event listed for several weeks on our very interactive calendar, that was apparently not enough.

We are not the St. Pete Times or the The Tampa Tribune. We are not owned by Media General or Clear Channel or any other deep pocketed organization. We do our best to promote events as best we can.

We appreciate our advertisers and those who support our advertisers and our events. This is what provides the dollars to do what we do. We even launched a new website FLORIDAMILLION.COM to support non-profits AND to provide groups with a FREE ad to promote their events and their websites. Only a few have bothered to take advantage of it so far.

Frequently we do not receive any thank you for promoting events and that is ok, but we do get a little pissed off when we catch hell for not promoting an event that someone thinks we should. And of course, they expect us to buy tickets to their event when we do so. On some evenings I may attend 4 events.

We just want to say THANK YOU to all the media that is doing their best, just as we are , to inform you about these worthwhile efforts. We know you hear the same type of gripes and complaints about not covering this or that event. But we think you do a great job. THANK YOU !
