Several people have written to say they can't find contact information for Tube City Online and The Tube City Almanac. (Ironically, the spammers find us just fine.)
You can email me directly by clicking on my name at the end of any story I've written.
Otherwise, please send press releases, announcements, advertising inquiries, news tips and other information to tubecitytiger at gmail dot com.

Advertising Policy: On a somewhat related note, I have been contacted twice in recent days by companies that want to advertise on Tube City Online. Unfortunately, what they really want me to do is publish "articles" written by their advertisers, and not label them as "advertising." (This is designed not just to fool readers, but to fool search engines.)
As much as I would love to take their money --- because we need the money --- Tube City Online does not and will not accept any advertising without labeling it as "advertising." If there is a sponsored message on any of the sites operated by Tube City Community Media Inc., it will either be an obvious advertisement (for instance, a graphic banner ad) or labeled as an "advertisement."
We may be mistaken sometimes, but we are not for sale. In other words, "We may be cheap, but we're not easy."
So ... want to advertise? We have a list of rates and terms online.
