Seems like everywhere I look in the last few months there are photographs, art work, and lots of information on lighthouses. Our local paper, Tampa Tribune, has had several lights highlighted in the Travel section over the last few months. Many friends, as well, have clipped articles out of their city papers and sent them my way.

Travel magazine, our local AAA magazine, RCI magazine and even the GA Home Extension office magazine had a two page write up on the relighting at Tybee.

Let's hear from other parts of the US. Are lighthouses getting more exposure in all areas of the media in your "neck of the woods"? National awareness is so important, the more we have on our lighthouse team, the better.

Here in North Carolina, about every other newscast has a spot on the Hatteras move.

Derith, last summer the Syracuse newspaper ran an article about the lighthouses on the St. Lawrence River.
