Miami/South & Central Florida Major Market

Major Media and Key Contacts

 

Miami and South Florida surrounding market

Welcome to online Local Market Guide for the Miami, South and Central Florida. Miami is a world capital of the communications industry. It has become the capital of Latin America and a growing financial center…along with being the home of many of our parents, grandparents. Its growth is unlimited (at least until they figure out how to run an election…of course I'm from Chicago).

Below are contacts for local media and other key sources of local information.

Below is a brief list of some of the major media. They will not tell us that they are coming. They know full well that we will welcome their coverage and have a badge ready for them as soon as they show up at the press center and they are absolutely right. But they are also fair game. So use the list below as a hit list let me know if I have missed anyone and don't hesitate to let me have corrections.

The list below is in done in word using a table. To convert highlight the whole table and copy to MSWord then go to the menu column and convert table to text I prefer tab but you can pick comma or paragraph. No matter what you pick you should be able to easily import into a database. If you only copy the table to a word document there are programs that will import directly without the conversion.

Never hesitate to call for help. Bob
