Sep 27, 2007Quickie Link: For Gay Press, 'Good Old Days' Are Here
By vanrozenheim
(USA) - For Gay newspaper publishers, the good old days are now. "I think it's a great time to be in Gay publishing. It's so much easier than it was even 10 years ago to pitch to mainstream businesses," says publisher Tracy Baim. "In this market, people did have a dollar and a dream," says Todd Evans, president and CEO of Rivendell Media Inc. "You had a lot of people who were more about the cause than the business, and unfortunately you have to pay attention to business, too." The recent performance of the Gay papers is all the more remarkable because not so long ago, it appeared the stars were aligning against them.
