TV Nominated for Daytime Emmy Award The network’s documentary 30 Years From Here nominated as Outstanding Special Class Special May 10, 2012 (LOS ANGELES) – here! TVhas been honored by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences with a Daytime Emmy Award nomination for its documentary 30 Years From Here. The documentary, which examines the 30 years battle against HIV/AIDS, received a nomination in the Outstanding Special Class Special category. This is here! TV’s second nomination in this category for programming focusing on HIV/AIDS advocacy and awareness. here! TV was previously nominated in the Outstanding Special Class Special category in 2009 for The Ribbon of Hope Celebration. “30 Years From Here’s Daytime Emmy nomination is a sign of Here Media’s commitment to covering HIV and AIDS not just in the LGBT community but across the country and in all communities where people’s lives have been affected by this nondiscriminatory disease,” said Paul Colichman, Founder and CEO of Here Media and Executive Producer of the 30 Years From Here. “Here Media’s extensive portfolio continues to do its part in educating the public about the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Through its stories of advocacy found in the iconic Advocate brand, its widely distributed HIV Plus magazine, the human interest stories of those we have lost documented in OUT, and programming from here! TV, America’s only LGBT-dedicated cable network, the company will continue its work until HIV/AIDS is eradicated.” In fact, Diane Anderson-Minshall, editor in chief of HIV Plus magazine, added, “It’s still alarming that while the annual HIV infection rate is falling in over 30 countries — 22 of them in the part of sub-Saharan Africa most affected by the AIDS pandemic — they have remained about the same since the 1990s in the U.S.. AIDS is the leading cause of death for African American women ages 25 to 34, the rate of deaths from AIDS is 10 times higher for black Americans than for whites, and ironically in Washington, D.C. — the city that’s home to the country’s biggest decision-makers about HIV policy and public health — the prevalence of HIV is higher than in the Congo, Ethiopia, Nigeria, or Rwanda. HIV Plus magazine celebrates this win but recognizes there’s so much more for us to do, but we’re committed to fighting the good fight for our readers and all HIV-positive Americans.” 30 Years From Here, directed by Josh Rosenzweig, examines the trials and tribulations the AIDS pandemic has created over the past 30 years. The documentary looks at how this nondiscriminatory disease has affected many lives over many years. The special features personal accounts from people who were there in the beginning and have seen both the sorrow over lives lost and the hope generated by advances in medical research. Activists, medical experts, and people who were on the ground describe their stories from the war on AIDS. Interviewees include playwright Terrence McNally; activist and ACT UP founder Larry Kramer; Marjorie Hill, CEO of Gay Men’s Health Crisis; physician Frank Spinelli;director and choreographer Jerry Mitchell; and radio talk show host Larry Flick. Paul Colichman and Stephen P. Jarchow served as Executive Producers for 30 Years From Here. Eric Feldman and Josh Rosenzweig produced the documentary. 30 Years From Here can currently be viewed on here! Online, here!

Join host Jim Morrison as he discusses how the stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS has been manifesting itself in criminal charges
March 15, 2012 (NEW YORK) — In the second half-hour of here! TV’s special two-part For & Against, host Jim Morrison tackles the little-known issue of HIV criminalization. In states across the country, people are being sent to jail for not disclosing, or being accused of not disclosing, that they are HIV-positive. Tune in tomorrow, March 16, for the premiere of For & Against’s examination of the criminalization of HIV/AIDS exclusively on here! TV and here! Online, here! TV’s premium online subscription video player found at http://premium.heretv.com/.
“HIV criminalization is the civil rights assault and public health disaster no one is talking about. Positive or negative, we all need to be informed and fighting back,” said Morrison. “Putting people in jail for not disclosing their HIV status is resulting in a shocking trend: people deciding that getting tested is the more dangerous option. Ignorance and homophobia are joining forces and putting the fight against HIV/AIDS in serious jeopardy.”
Guests and interviewees for the special episode include Sean Strub, founder of POZ magazine, and Regan Hofmann, POZ’s current editor in chief.
Every other week, For & Against offers here! TV viewers the chance to explore news and headlines through a uniquely LGBT lens. Episode features Morrison digging deeper into the issues to focus on how everything from campaign finance to current and future White House policy affects the LGBT community.

THE ADVOCATE CELEBRATES 45 YEARS |
 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Mark Umbach
THE ADVOCATE CELEBRATES 45 YEARS
THE ADVOCATE TO CELEBRATE THE HEROES AND CHAMPIONS IN THE LGBT COMMUNITY OVER THE PAST FOUR DECADES
February 15, 2012 (Los Angeles, CA) - The Advocate, the world’s leading gay news source, will celebrate its 45th anniversary this year with a gala event on Thursday, March 29th at The Beverly Hilton hotel’s world-renowned International Ballroom in Beverly Hills, CA. The Advocate 45th Presented by Lexus, which will benefit the Point Foundation, will honor the heroes and champions who have made significant strides in the LGBT community over the past 45 years.
“As a native of Los Angeles, the Black Cat Protest, from which The Advocate was born, has always been meaningful. Preserving The Advocate brand is an important part of our business, and, personally, an important part of my life,” says Paul Colichman, CEO of Advocate parent company Here Media. “For 45 years The Advocate has been the news source of record for the LGBT community. From its inception, The Advocate’s devoted staff of editors and writers have worked tirelessly to bring forward the issues affecting the lives of gay Americans. We look forward to celebrating the 45 years of hard work, sacrifice, and dedication it has taken to build the world’s leading gay news brand.” In 1967 The Advocate was launched in an effort to educate and unite the LGBT community about unlawful arrests and bar raids. It soon became an indispensable and necessary resource for LGBT current events, culture, and activism within the community. Today as The Advocate celebrates its 45th anniversary it remains ahead of the curve — covering events and themes that often spur a cultural revolution.
“The Advocate has evolved over the last 45 years, from a newsletter to a print and digital magazine, a website, and a mobile platform. And headlines have also evolved, from reports on bar raids and innumerable deaths from AIDS, to marriage equality, fairness in serving our country in the armed forces, and raising our families with dignity and acceptance,” says Matthew Breen, editor in chief of The Advocate. “I don’t think our founding editors, on whose shoulders we all stand, could have imagined the ways in which this publication would grow and develop to encompass a greater, stronger LGBT community. We look forward to another 45 years of singular dedication to telling the stories of our lives and our fight for equality.” Lexus (www.lexus.com), the luxury brand committed to diversity, is the presenting sponsor for the red-carpet gala celebration. Hilton Hotels & Resorts (www.hilton.com), the flagship brand of Hilton Worldwide, also serves as a sponsor for the evening. Hilton will host the event in the International Ballroom at The Beverly Hilton from 7:00 – 10:00 p.m. Black Label Events (www.blacklabelevents.com) will produce the celebration under the creative leadership of partners Carl Rumbaugh and Mel Berman. DJ Beau Dasher will provide the night’s entertainment.
“The growth and success of The Advocate is due, in no small part, to the efforts of its publishers and editors to nurture and develop the many talents of the LGBTQ community,” said Jorge Valencia, Executive Director & CEO Point Foundation. “Point Foundation Scholars are the next generation of leaders; the names and faces that will appear — with great pride — in The Advocate for decades to come.”

Advocate.com Attacked Prior to Proposition 8 Decision
The world’s largest LGBT news website was attacked moments before a federal appeals court has ruled California’s Proposition 8 unconstitutional
February 8, 2012 (LOS ANGELES) — Shortly before 10 a.m. Pacific time yesterday, just moments before a federal appeals court upheld U.S. district judge Vaughn Walker’s ruling that California’s Proposition 8 was unconstitutional, Advocate.com was victim of an intentional Denial of Service (DOS) attack. The attack came in two intervals and lasted approximately 20 minutes each.
“Yesterday, as LGBT Americans awaited the federal appeals court decision regarding California’s Prop. 8 case, an outside source launched a DOS attack on Advocate.com,” said Stephen Macias, Here Media’s Executive Vice President and General Manager. “Our technical team moved swiftly to remedy the situation and provide our readers quick access to one of the most important LGBT news stories in recent memory.”
The Advocate.com technical team moved quickly to resolve the issue by tracing and then blocking the IP address associated with the attack. While there was no permanent damage to the site, some viewers’ access to the site was limited during the attack.
The Advocate is currently available to consumers via the print publication and online at Advocate.com. Follow The Advocate on Facebook at www.Facebook.com/TheAdvocate and on Twitter at @TheAdvocateMag.

November 21, 2011 (NEW YORK) — here! TV (www.heretv.com), the world’s leading premium gay television network, has begun production on the new original series For & Against. Progressive commentator Jim Morrison hosts the new 30-minute political analysis series. For & Against debuts in January 2012 exclusively on here! TV and here! Online, here! TV’s premium online subscription video player found at http://premium.heretv.com/.
“As we gear up for the 2012 election, we felt it was imperative to provide our audience with a show that would speak directly to the LGBT population around politics, politicians, and policies,” says Josh Rosenzweig, here! TV’s Senior Vice President of Original Programming & Development. “Jim Morrison is a one-of-a-kind renaissance man — brilliant, fearless and trustworthy — who will undoubtedly get the answers to the hard questions and let us all feel confident that we are properly armed with the right information to make the best decisions.”
For & Against offers here! TV viewers the chance to explore news and headlines through a uniquely LGBT lens. Each episode features Morrison digging deeper into the issues to focus on how everything from campaign finance to current and future White House policy affects the LGBT community. Additionally, Morrison sits down with top policymakers and pundits spanning the political landscape and challenges them on the issues that influence LGBT voters.
While Morrison brings a progressive voice to the show, For & Against extends across the political spectrum. As the 2012 primary election season begins, For & Against is extending invites to each candidate running in the 2012 Republican primaries to join Morrison to discuss their platform on issues important to LGBT Americans.
Morrison is a liberal-leaning pundit not afraid to challenge convention. He is a graduate of the Georgetown School of Foreign Service and holds a law degree from Columbia University, with an emphasis on Constitutional Law and Civil Rights. Jim ran for the New Jersey State Senate and successfully litigated the first sexual orientation discrimination case against a high school student.

Dionne Warwick Graces Cover of HIV Plus Magazine Grammy-winning entertainment icon and activist covers the November/December issue of the health and wellness magazine
September 22, 2011 (LOS ANGELES)— Here Media (www.heremedia.com), the world’s leading gay media company, is pleased to announce that Grammy Award-winning recording artist Dionne Warwick will cover the November/December issue of HIV Plus magazine. Her cover appearance comes on the heels of her work hosting the Town Hall Meeting on HIV & AIDS—in association with Harlem United Community AIDS Center—called “That's What Friends Are For.”
"We're thrilled to feature Ms. Warwick, as everyone who knows her calls her, on the November/December cover of HIV Plus," says Editor in Chief Diane Anderson-Minshall. "New York has declared Sept. 27 Dionne Warwick Day, but for anyone who has seen the impact Warwick has had on AIDS fundraising and visibility, one day isn't enough to celebrate this tireless advocate. Back in the late '80s, after her song ‘That's What Friends Are For' came out, Dionne organized a four-day extravaganza to benefit AIDS education and pediatric AIDS care, one of the earliest of its kind. Frank Sinatra famously quipped at the time, 'When Dionne first told me about it, I said, 'Anytime, anywhere, and what do I wear?' That's the same excitement that Ms. Warwick brought to being on the cover of HIV Plus magazine, an anywhere, anytime spirit our readers will appreciate."
Warwick has been and continues to be a pioneer in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Warwick's tireless efforts date back to the early '80s, when she was one of the first African-American celebrities to align herself with the fight against this epidemic, bringing attention to the plight, not only domestically, but internationally as well. Warwick’s pioneering efforts have focused on leading the music industry in the fight against AIDS. Her Grammy-winning, chart topping single "That's What Friends Are For," led the way by raising millions of dollars for AIDS research. Additionally, in 2002, Warwick was honored by the American Red Ribbon AIDS Foundation.
Warwick’s Town Hall Meeting on HIV & AIDS takes place on Monday, September 26, 2011, at 6:00 p.m. The session will be moderated by BET News commentator Ed Gordon. Gordon will be joined by acclaimed actress/singer/activist Sheryl Lee Ralph and other celebrity friends, noted clinicians, politicians, and persons living with HIV and AIDS. The Town Hall Meeting will take place at the Oberia D. Dempsey Center at 127 West 127th Street.

Under a new licensing agreement with Athens-based G. Piliouras, Ltd., the sophisticated fashion, style, and pop culture content of OUT’s U.S. edition will be translated and edited for the Greek audience. Additionally, G. Piliouras, Ltd., will utilize European journalists to produce content of local interest, including interviews with Greek personalities, music and entertainment reviews, and local travel coverage creating Greece’s first mainstream LGBT print publication.
Following the premiere issue, OUT’s Greek edition will publish on the same 10 times per year schedule as the U.S. publication. OUT’s Greek edition will be available on Greek newsstands and at local retailers as well as via subscription.
“The strategy of G. Piliouras, Ltd., is to detect the gaps that exist in publications in the Greek market and to fill those gaps with the best foreign titles. The LGBT community in Greece is in need of its own publication that will cover its needs and interests. Looking for the most suitable LGBT foreign publication, and after a thorough study of dozens of foreign titles, we came to the conclusion that OUT magazine was the best choice, as it is the most successful LGBT magazine in the world, but most importantly for us, a magazine of very high standards and quality. With the Greek edition of OUT we feel that the Greek LGBT community will finally have the publication it needs and deserves to have,” said George Piliouras, General Manager of the Greek publishing house.
G. Piliouras, Ltd., has proven success in bringing U.S. titles to the Greek market. The Greek publisher already produces Greek editions of titles including FitnessRX for Men, FitnessRX for Women, and Muscular Development.
The OUT brand’s new international licensing agreement follows Here Media’s recent expansion of its online properties with the new Web portal Gay.net, featuring the latest headlines from the worlds of entertainment, travel, style, and cultural hot topics.

“In 2010 we received photographs from people of all ages and backgrounds, and from all parts of this country,” said Matthew Breen, The Advocate’s Editor in Chief. “This project is like an enormous family photo album, and it’s a joy to see so many of the different ways we live our lives as LBGTs in America. It’s vital, especially for younger people and for those just coming out, to know there’s no one way to be gay. We can find strength in our diversity, and sharing these images is a wonderful way to demonstrate how diverse we are.”
To participate in “A Day in Gay America,” you don’t need to be a professional photographer! Just make a note on your calendar, get your camera ready, and on Friday, August 12, 2011, take a self-portrait or have a friend take a photograph of you, doing anything that says something about who you are as an LGBT American.
