01/01/12 - TennisWire is poised to grow and we are entertaining offers for expansion. In the meantime, we are suspending operations as of Dec. 31, 2011.

BRIEF HISTORY
Liza Horan, a tennis media leader who pioneered TENNIS.com and served as the longest-running president of the U.S. Tennis Writers' Association, founded TennisWire.org in 2004 as an independent entity to connect stakeholders and the media. The start-up was underwritten by a grant from the Tennis Industry Association and quickly became self-sufficient and profitable.

The TennisWire.org website and email database quickly grew to a network that included an editorial column, job listing service and online tennis-themed word games. Besides the monthly email newsletter for the public, TennisWire Bulletin, TennisWire Network published Q&As and other articles exploring the business side of the game and the rise of tennis in pop culture at HelloTennis.com. The weekly TennisWire Media Alert -- emailed to more than 600 verified editorial staffers who cover tennis -- has been the only independently sourced PR communiqué from a credible tennis industry insider to media peers. TennisWire engages thousands of media, stakeholders and fans across Twitter and Facebook.

As the media landscape continues to evolve, there remains a need for trusted, independent communications to the media, particularly as the full-time tennis corp shrinks.

TennisWire is profitable and poised to grow, and both the brand and its audiences would be best served by an expansion in the operations.

Inquiries should be sent to TennisWire@MediaMoxie.com.
