Readers know that we purchased Mediabistro a few months ago. Mediabistro continues to thrive and become more popular. Mediabistro products and offerings are mainly responsible for its continuing success.

However, founder Laurel Touby, also spurs readership and growth. Laurel has a terrific talent for "getting press." And getting press helps generate more new readers to Mediabistro.com which in turn leads to more use of the job boards and more sign ups for online courses etc.

Check out this write up on Laurel and Mediabistro from the Washington Post.
