Folio Magazine has selected Paste Media Group President Tim Regan-Porter as one of its 2009 “Folio 40.”

Regan-Porter for his role in numerous innovative, multi-faceted initiatives that set Paste apart.
 
With print media being affected by the suffering economy, publications have to dig deep to keep their companies moving. Ideas like pay-what-you-want subscriptions, Paste Digital VIP and the runaway viral web hit Obamicon.me have created additional readers, web traffic and buzz around Paste. 
 
“Magazines in general are not valuing print as much as they should.” He adds: “But we know that you can’t survive if all you do is print, it’s not even fully serving readers if you just focus on
print,” he told Folio.
 
Regan-Porter helped launch Paste magazine 7 years ago and has played a role in all the outlets Paste has to offer. Regan-Porter has played a huge role in helping make Paste Media one of the most innovative independent media brands in the U.S.

Two-time National Magazine Award nominee Paste magazine is the fastest growing independently published entertainment magazine in the country.  Called “the best among American music titles” by The Wall Street Journal, and recently named "Magazine of the Year" at the 2008 PLUG Independent Music Awards for the third year in a row, Paste provides thoughtful analysis on the best in film, books and other aspects of popular (and alternative) culture. Paste is the premier magazine for people who still enjoy discovering new music, prize substance and songcraft over fads and manufactured attitude, and appreciate quality music in whatever genre it might inhabit.  Now in its sixth year, Paste has grown quickly with international distribution in over 12 countries.  Paste is available on newsstands all over the U.S. and Canada.
