History

Fred Krupski started Brevard Business News with a partner in 1981 and served as its president and publisher. [5] [6] Krupski, a Native of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, worked in journalism for several years and helped start the Orlando daily before founding the Brevard Business News. [7] During its early years, it was published bi-monthly, but changed to weekly. [8] [9] The office was originally located in Cocoa but moved to Melbourne. Ken Datzman served as the editor. [10]

Adrienne B. Roth purchased it in 1986. Krupski continued reporting on business issues and eventually founded the News Observer in Titusville, Florida, where he served as the publisher. [11] [12]

In 1988, Central Brevard Women's Network awarded Brevard Business News with the Eleanor Outstanding Achievement Award for making "significant contributions to women's issues, interests and financial welfare." [13] In 2002, the Melbourne-Palm Bay Area Chamber of Commerce recognized Brevard Business News for contributions in media to the "public and the business community" at the 17th-annual Business Achievement Awards.
