New York, NY, September 2007 - Mediabistro.com (www.mediabistro.com, a division of Jupitermedia Corporation, Nasdaq: JUPM), will mark its 10th anniversary with a gala celebration on Thursday, October 4th at The Plumm, 246 West 14th Street in New York City.
To celebrate mediabistro.com's remarkable growth over the past decade, mediabistro will honor ten individuals whose media careers have skyrocketed during the same period with Golden Boa Awards in the 10 verticals that mediabistro.com serves. Festivities will begin at 7:00 pm.
"So much has changed in the media landscape over the last decade - it's an entirely new world. I wanted to honor some of the people who have contributed to that," said mediabistro.com founder Laurel Touby.
2007 Golden Boa Honorees
The event celebrates mediabistro.com's extraordinary growth over the past decade. What began as an informal series of cocktail parties for freelancers has grown into one of the premier outlets serving the media industry - a Web site providing editorial content and a widely-read network of media blogs, the leading job board in the media industry, and courses, seminars and multimedia content.
Mediabistro.com recently merged with Jupitermedia. "When I started the Web site ten years ago, it was so one-dimensional compared to what it is today," said Touby.
"It seems as though every day now, I run into someone who says they found a job, took a class, or otherwise had their lives enriched by mediabistro."
Honorees present at the event will be awarded with the Golden Boa, named after the feather boa that has become mediabistro.com's trademark. Brooklyn-based artist Jude Tallichet sculpted the award, a bronzed feather boa.
To toast the occasion, guests will raise a Martini glass courtesy of Chopin Vodka, the ultimate luxury vodka from Poland.
