Marty Petty, who was named the six-paper company's first post-bankruptcy CEO
in November, has been dubbed one of the people to watch in the Tampa Bay business scene by the
St. Petersburg Times. "Petty has her work cut out for her. Any newspaper is a business challenge in these lean days. Creative Loafing faces direct competition from
tbt* Tampa Bay Times, the free, Monday-through-Friday alt-like tabloid that belongs to the
St. Petersburg Times," the
Times reports. "But Petty, 57, now controls a geographically diverse audience with five other alts published in Sarasota, Charlotte, Atlanta, Chicago and Washington, DC. Let the games begin."
