Contributors & Editors
Mike Anderson
He's been a recording engineer and a production guy, a radio dj, a PD and station ops manager, a teacher of radio, news and drama, a still and video photographer, a voiceover talent and a radio and New Media consultant. Anderson founded STLMedia.net, this blog, and all of the several Message Boards tied into this site over the years. These days he listens and watches and, occasionally, he laughs. He'll do that here.

Matt Gordon
After an “honorable discharge” from a short career in St. Louis radio and television, Matt has been doing online stuff since 1999. When not providing Internet marketing services for local small businesses and managing over thirty websites, Matt writes here about the changing face of technology and how it affects both the media and consumers.
Joe Sonderman
Long-time STL radio personality and historian Joe Sonderman has granted STLMedia.net exclusive access to his carefully researched collection of the day-by-day history of the market. You're free to use it as you want as long as you credit Joe.
