415 Media has become the go-to spot for Bay Area media professionals, viewers, listeners and those who are just interested in the goings-on of the business. I am profoundly happy that I've struck a nerve. We've grown leaps and bounds. The new advertising you see validates that and while it's great, it's not enough.
As much as I treasure the wonderful messages of support I get from you I can't pay my bills with your kind words. About two years ago, I floated a trial balloon about putting 415 Media behind a pay wall. After many of you vociferously protested, I reconsidered. I decided it was more important to make 415 Media open to all, even those who visit here often but are not necessarily enthralled with all of the content. That's OK, we don't discriminate.
So, today, I'm asking those of you that like this website, to make a contribution to keep 415 Media a permanent fixture and sustainable. I know things are difficult for most of you. But they're difficult for me too. That's why I've added this contribution button. If you value 415 Media and can afford it, a modest one-time donation allows me the liberty to write the stories you want to know about and have come to appreciate and depend on.
Please click on my Donate button and support 415Media. You don't need to sign up for a PayPal account to make a secure and confidential donation. If you do, I'll be grateful and I'll be sure to say so by private email or call. We'll also raffle off a holiday lunch with me and three of your closest friends at Tommy's Joynt.
It's not just the faces and voices you see and hear every day who make 415 Media the most widely read media news blog in the Bay Area. Many of the hard-working individuals who work long hours for short money and no recognition have given me some of my most important scoops. They do so knowing they are risking their own job to do so, but they do it because they know how important it is to shine the light of day on some of the darker aspects of the current media scene.
I know 415 Media is important to you because over 100,000 of you folks visit this site each week. Many of you write and call me to tell me just how much you appreciate reading inside information about the local television and radio personalities you love (and hate). Others have been generous about giving me news tips and sharing their insight.
I appreciate all your support and again, look forward to a lasting presence here at 415 Media.
*Look for 415 Media 'Extra" in the coming months.
Thanks in advance.
