From the Publishers
Hello Friends! Welcome to the April 2021 issue of Paradise NEWS. Thank YOU for your support! We are thrilled to be celebrating another month together, and a year of pandemic survival, thanks to YOU!
By “YOU” we mean the readers who enthusiastically wait for each copy to show up in their mailbox, and those who pick up Paradise NEWS from one of the 550 racks and stacks in the area. “YOU” also includes our loyal advertisers, both new and longstanding, our account executives, our researchers, writers, editors, photographers, proofreader, printers, mail service, distribution people and each of the location owners that welcome Paradise NEWS to be distributed in their businesses.
For over 26 years Paradise NEWS has added value to the lives of the privileged few lucky enough to live in this special corner of the world, like a sturdy cotton string tying together a quarter century of human experience. That string stretches from these printed pages to the limitless world of www.ParadiseNEWSfl.com where anyone can read Paradise NEWS online, and a repository five years or more worth of articles from past issues and a great deal more.
While we discuss the challenges facing our planet, we try not to dwell on negatives so prevalent in more frequent media outlets. We prefer to focus on what good people are doing to overcome these challenges.
Each Thursday we circulate an electronic newsletter with our top suggestions for enjoying the weekend and late breaking tidbits that we may not have known about when the magazine last went to press. You can subscribe for free online.
Exploring www.ParadiseNEWSfl.com, you can access five years of back issues. Feature stories are capsulized by year and a wealth of local history, pet health, eco, travel, food and cooking columns, recipes and much more are discoverable.
While the magazine typically debuts online on the first of each month, it takes about a week before copies begin to appear in racks and stacks throughout the area. It takes another week for the post office to get it to 25,000 mailboxes. The content is designed to be pertinent at least until the next issue arrives in the mail, so regular print readers miss nothing, even when the issue arrives around the 15th.
Feel free to reach out to us on social media. We are here for you, with you, because of you. Together let’s keep the wonders of the natural world in sight and mind on our journey.
If the magazine just “appeared in the mail” for the first time this month, it was probably just a tease, an introductory sample. We are introducing Paradise NEWS to a new group of locals each month. If you like it and want to keep it coming, a subscription is only $30/year for 10 issues mailed to your home, store or office.
You can send your mailing address along with any form of payment to P.N. Sub., P.O. Box 66385, St Pete Beach, FL 33736 or email info@paradisenewsfl.com for a credit card subscription form.
And to Everybody, Thanks for Everything!
