In the Media

What do USA Today, the New York Times, PBS, and the Christian Science Monitor have in common? Well, probably a lot of things. One is that they all have recognized our sites as the sites to turn to for information on our favorite decades! They are not alone. Here are a few examples:

When the New York Times put together a site for students to learn about the 20th Century, they turned to Super70s.com to cover the 1970s and Awesome80s.com to cover the 1980s. PBS similarly used our article on the Pet Rock for a PBSKids.com site about online advertising and has referenced us on the companion site to their documentary on commercial aviation.

When the Tallahassee Democrat needed a quote for an article contrasting the Challenger tragedy with the Columbia tragedy, they turned to Awesome80s.com.

The American Press Institute called Super70s.com a "great flashback site" and the Christian Science Monitor staff has added both of our sites to their "Monitor Web Directory: sites we like" section.

USA Today named us a HotSite in March of 2002: "Like TV signals wafting through space, the 1970s continue to lurk in the Internet. Super70s.com brings back all the hits: Nixon, Kent State, Charlie's Angels and the Pet Rock..."

CNET Radio interviewed me as part of a segment on Super70s.com in February 2001. Sea Magazine, Owl Magazine, Scholastic Books, and the Cambridge University Press have also used our materials for their publications.

Thanks for visiting!

Not all who find us invaluable are willing to give us credit. When NBA.com wanted to promote 70s night for the Washington Bullets in early 2003, they copied and pasted parts of our pages unmodified and without credit. I wouldn't have mentioned it here but for the lack of either an apology or credit from them in our communications. Still, they knew who to turn to for such information.
