The Commercial Appeal Adds
Jim Blasingame’s Small Business Column .

Memphis, Tennessee — September 8, 2003

Today The Commercial Appeal announced the addition of Jim Blasingame’s syndicated column, The Small Business Advocate, to its feature offerings. The Commercial Appeal has been a mid-south institution since 1841. As the only daily in Memphis, with the largest distribution in the mid-south, Blasingame’s column will reach over 190,000 subscribers of The Commercial Appeal each Monday.

“We’re excited about being able to deliver the real-world, small business perspectives of Jim Blasingame to our readers,” said The Commercial Appeal Business Editor, Sonny Albarado. “In addition to having the rare talent of making the world of business interesting and fun, Jim’s background makes him extremely qualified to talk about the challenges and opportunities of entrepreneurs.”

Blasingame is the president of Small Business Network Inc., and the creator and award-winning host of the nationally syndicated radio/Internet talk show, also called The Small Business Advocate. In addition to his nationally syndicated column on small business, Blasingame is also the author of Small Business Is Like A Bunch Of Bananas (SBN Books). Producing over 100,000 words annually on small businesses issues, Blasingame’s articles are read by millions of entrepreneurs every year.

“It’s a great honor for me to be associated with a publication that has been a witness to so much of our nation’s history,” said Blasingame. “I’m looking forward to working with the professionals at The Commercial Appeal, as we serve the most important members of their audience, small business owners.”

Robyn Tomlin, Executive Editor of the TimesDaily, in Florence, Alabama said, “We like the way Jim alternates his columns with a business fundamental column one week and a motivational column the next. Unlike many business columns, Jim’s column is fun, interesting, and full of life.”

“I work with over 100 business writers and experts,” noted Don Sadler, V.P. and Editorial Director of Media 3 Publications in Atlanta, Georgia, “ and Jim Blasingame is one of the best — if not the best — of all the writers I work with.”

Blasingame was named by TALKERS Magazine as a member of the 2003 "Heavy Hundred," the 100 most important talk show hosts in America. He’s the recipient of the SBA’s 2002 Small Business Journalist of the Year award, and FORTUNE Small Business magazine identified Blasingame as one of the 30 most influential people in America representing small business.

Small Business Network, Inc. produces and distributes multi-media small business content worldwide, including The Small Business Advocate show, which airs weekdays from 7-9am EDT on radio and 24-7 on the Internet. Blasingame’s column is currently found in dozens of publications across America. IBM and Office Depot are two of SBN’s sponsors.
