Worthy of
Celebration
30 Years of
Tampa Bay Magazine
By Aaron R. Fodiman
Many pundits have
recently been predicting
the fall
of magazines, as
the internet continues to grow.
It reminds me of those who
were sure that television would
be the end of the motion picture
business and that everyone
would be dr inking “Tang”
rather than orange juice. Many
of these predictions proved to
be erroneous; and Tampa Bay
Magazine has shown that the
magazine industry is capable of
both survival and growth.
