Happy Monday! To kick off each week, we profile a member of the media to help our readers get to know him or her a little better – but with a TWIST! Rather than talk beats and story bites, we ask our spotlights to share little known facts and tidbits you won’t find anywhere else! […]
Today’s #MediaMonday takes us East…to the East Valley, that is. Brett Fera recently assumed the position as managing editor of East Valley Tribune, the Valley’s second-largest paper and all-things Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Tempe, Queen Creek as well as state-wide and national news. He moved to Arizona for college, leaving Los Angeles in his rear-view […]
Many people in Arizona and beyond have been asking about 202 Magazine, a leading glossy monthly in the Southeast Valley, and its new editor – Chrissy May! This month, we’ve had the great opportunity to spend some time with her as well as put together some articles for the magazine. What have we learned – […]
Once upon a time—okay, in the mid-90s—there was a KTVK-3TV producer named Jessica Parsons. Enter music: A Space Odyssey, married to her own prince charming and fellow co-worker, Jeffrey… and life was good. Two moves, one child and three dogs later…she still has that great sense of humor, big smile and fabulous fashion sense most […]
Anyone who has done PR here in town over the past five years knows Denise Naughton. As the queen of producing for Sonoran Living on ABC15, not a day passes when she isn’t working with at least a dozen communications folks. And now, you can work with her in a totally new way […]
Fun fact – I got my start in copywriting for magazines from Mr. Kirk Kern back in 2004 or 2005. I was working around the clock, trying to pitch the story of WalkAmerica and the March for Babies to the masses. Kirk was living in Las Vegas, but publishing 101 North Magazine in […]
I’ve never been accused of being a “girly girl.” In fact, I take great pride in the fact that I know more about NBA Playoff stats (where Lebron has proven in recent weeks that he will never match Mike – bwahahahaha) and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish’s on-going football team woes, than I do about […]
Each Monday, we are posting a blog to help our readers get to know the media just a little bit better. With a TWIST! No, we aren’t posting story pitch tips or media lists, but instead great stories from the media themselves about their lives, their work and other little known facts! Think of it […]

The Business Voice of the Airpark For Over 30 Years
The Valley really is the smallest “big city” of all time. Get this: For the past several years, I have not only been pitching the Foothills Focus, which is a popular weekly newspaper covering all things in Anthem, Black Canyon City, Carefree, Cave Creek, Desert Hills, New River, north Phoenix and north Scottsdale, on a […]
Today’s #MediaMonday comes to us from Mike Lamp, morning host and news producer for Colorado Public Radio’s statewide news service, airing NPR and Colorado news from CPR’s studios in Denver. He moved to Colorado in 2000, from KNAU-FM, the NPR station in Flagstaff. He has to get up early. I first met Mike […]
There are some 700,000 veterans living in Arizona. A “thank you for your service” is always appropriate. Today’s #MediaMonday comes to us from Mark Field, a U.S. Navy veteran himself. He is the publisher and editor of Arizona Veteran’s Magazine, a new publication dedicated to Arizona residents who have served our country. This isn’t Field’s […]

In September 2011, we profiled proud Arcadian media gal Tishin Donkersley about her life, work and everything in between as part of our regular #MediaMonday profile series. It was a match made in heaven for us and Tishin, as everyone at HMA became quick friends with the then-Green Living AZ editor. Today, we are pleased […]
Have you ever felt like you needed an advocate? Today’s #MediaMonday comes from Dave Cherry, who recently joined CBS 5 in Phoenix as the station’s CBS 5 Advocate. Through his on-air advocacy work in 2011 for his previous station, KPNX-TV, Dave and his team were able to help consumers save more than $1 million. He […]
Today’s #MediaMonday comes from one of our favorite gals Margo Papke. This media lover got her start producing news at ABC15 and now she’s the producer at Sonoran Living. I got to work with this lovely lady for the first time recently and learned that our love for media isn’t the only thing we have […]
