The Florida Sentinel Bulletin is a twice-weekly community newspaper serving Tampa's African…read moreAmerican community. According to the paper's website it is the only African American publication in Florida that prints twice weekly and owns all its own printing equipment. The paper originally operated in Jacksonville, Florida In 1919 before closing during the Great Depression. It was reopened as a weekly by the son of the owner of that paper, C. Blythe Andrews, in Tampa in December, 1945 at 1511 Central Avenue. The Tampa Bulletin was purchased in 1959 and became twice weekly. In 1962 the paper moved to its current location of 2207 East 21st Avenue. It seems to be distributed mostly around the Sulphur Springs area of Tampa and I have not seen it much elsewhere. I would describe it as old school. Here's the paper's website: http://flsentinel.com/

This is a very good local paper to keep up on current events in and around the Tampa Bay area…read more Starting a new business I needed to post my business name in a local paper. When I called The Florida Sentinel the person I spoke with was very kind. She was also familiar with my request and walked me through the process. She provided me with all the information I needed before going into the office to place the ad so I was well prepared. Because of this the process did not take long. The staff is very polite and knowledgeable.

No paper this Sunday. Ok that happens so called TBT and 5 min in was disconnected. Of course the…read moreAutomated system could not recognize my account. Finally after 40 min on hold (2nd attempt) Was able to speak to a live real person who said the paper would be delivered within two hours. It is embarrassing, unprofessional and reeks of incompetence that this is the best TBT can do a a major player in communication industry. If not for the advertising and coupons would drop this liberal rag in a NY minute.

My rate for the past 6 years went from $65, to $94, to $130, to $195, to $291 and this year to $413!!! I called for explanation and all the offered was a reduction to $353. I know costs are going up for everybody but not 33% per year! A friend of mine called them to cancel a $179 subscription and was offered $60 for the year. My agent told me $353 was the best they could do so I canceled it. It's too bad, it's a good paper and I've been a long term subscriber, but I can't do business with a company that abuses its customers like that.

"Hostile work environment -Bullying, Illegal according to federal law."…read moreAccount Executive (Former Employee) Tampa, FL I worked at Faircount full-time for less than a year Pros - None, they will talk about their long term success until you are blue in the face while guy's that have been there for years complain they haven't done a deal in months. They all drive crappy cars. (if they have one) Most are walking on eggshells afraid of getting fired. Cons - Inept management that only care about their (former) top producers. Exaggerate audience size, hang up on lady's or your fired. Wow I wonder why their sales are so down. Advice to Senior Management - Replace the "happy talk" on your website and new employee welcome kit with the truth -We really don't care about you since we will threaten to fire you everyday and replace you with a revolving door of inadequit hasben's, look up bullying in the workplace on google. No, I would not recommend this company to a friend - I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
