MATTOON, Ill. - illiNews -- Illinois-based media company will combine original journalism, transportation news, dedicated safety coverage, interviews, podcasts, video and firsthand industry voices
MATTOON, Ill. — Kiss This Media, a new woman-owned independent media company based in Mattoon, Illinois, is preparing to launch a multi-platform publication built around original journalism, transportation news, safety coverage, interviews, podcasts, video and the voices of people working across trucking, freight and logistics.
Founded by transportation media host and industry advocate Tamie Stuttle, Kiss This Media was created around a simple belief: the people living and working inside transportation should have a greater role in the stories told about their industry.
"I didn't create Kiss This Media to be the voice," Stuttle said. "I created it to give people a voice."
Kiss This Media is being developed as more than a podcast, association publication or corporate content channel. The company is building an independent editorial platform with commissioned journalism, multiple contributors, dedicated coverage areas and original multimedia programming.

Coverage will include transportation and freight news, driver experiences, women in transportation, safety, logistics, industry accountability, business issues and the policies and decisions affecting the people who move freight.
The company is also developing a dedicated Safety Hub covering industry alerts, incident analysis, driver wellness, gear and protection, women in safety and practical resources for transportation professionals. Additional programming will include original podcasts, video series, interviews and recurring editorial features.
Stuttle said the company grew from years of listening to transportation professionals describe the gap between polished industry messaging and what people were actually experiencing on the road, in terminals, inside companies and across the freight economy.
"Transportation has no shortage of press releases, corporate messaging and carefully managed talking points," Stuttle said. "What is too often missing are the people living with the decisions, doing the work and seeing the consequences firsthand. Kiss This Media is being built to ask harder questions, tell stronger stories and create room for voices that too often get filtered out."

Before launching Kiss This Media, Stuttle served as Director of Marketing and a board member for Real Women in Trucking. She recently stepped down from those roles to focus on building the new media company.
She is also the host of Truckin' with Tamie, a transportation interview and commentary program, and has been involved in broader industry discussions surrounding driver advocacy, transportation safety and labor trafficking.
Kiss This Media is building a growing network of journalists, contributors, transportation professionals, safety leaders, drivers and industry experts as the company prepares for launch and expands its editorial and multimedia programming.
The publication's approach is direct: real stories, real questions and fewer barriers between industry coverage and the people most affected by it.
"Some of the most important conversations in transportation are already happening," Stuttle said. "They are happening in truck cabs, break rooms, parking lots, safety meetings, dispatch offices and private conversations between people who do not believe anyone is listening. Kiss This Media is being built to listen — and to report."
