Getting to Know US

Thank you for visiting our media page. We know your time is precious, so let us quickly show you the highlights of our exceptional coverage, which is national and international in scope.

Joanne and Tony DiBona continue to receive top honors year after year for photojournalism. In 2021 and 2023 we received first place honors for our USATODAY 10Best contributions (in both the national and international categories) in the San Diego Press Club Excellence in Journalism award competition. The judges lauded our work in producing "original descriptive photo galleries of US and International destinations and lifestyle."

This competition drew more than 1,100 entries, making it one of the largest journalism competitions in the nation!

Our press affiliations include:

• Society of American Travel Writers (SATW)

• San Diego Press Club (multiple travel article award winners)

We’d also be happy to send you links to PR professionals with whom we’ve worked over the years who would be more than happy to give us a reference. Just ask!.

USATODAY/10Best

Each of our posts on this national site has an estimated media value of literally tens of thousands of dollars, reaching 5 million+ readers—and growing!  10Best is quickly taking over as the travel arm of USATODAY, thanks to the quality of its journalists and photographers, and we are proud to have been part of the team since its inception in 2010.

Our Photography Website

As if the above wasn’t enough to convince you we should be part of your PR outreach, our travel photography website, JOANNE & TONY DIBONA PHOTOGRAPHY currently generates 150,000+ photo views each month.  As an added bonus to any of our press trips with you, complimentary photos and video clips are provided to our hosts for promotional use, just in exchange for a photo credit.

Did I mention that we actively post our best trip photos on our INSTAGRAM sites for the world to enjoy? Follow us:

PRINT MEDIA

We LOVE print, and have dozens of print articles in major publications (San Diego Union Tribune, LA TIMES, AAA Magazine, The Week, Chicago Tribune, Charlotte Observer, Baltimore Sun, New York Daily News, and the list goes on)  published over the years (beginning with my first travel article ever written, which appeared as the lead article on the LA TIMES travel section back in 1988!)

Here’s a link to our PUBLICATION PRINT GALLERY that features PDFs of a few of these articles.

EUROPE

Europe is one of our favorite destinations, to be sure. We love traveling outside of the big cities, discovering smaller towns and villages whose history speaks to our souls-- and to our cameras, of course! These galleries are among dozens we’ve produced on European destinations over the years.

SOFT ADVENTURE

Many of our press trips involve soft adventure, from swimming with the sea lions and turtles off the coast of the Galapagos Islands, to kayaking through the ice floes of Alaska, bicycling along the waterways of Europe, and trekking through countless numbers of picturesque hiking trails around the world. Here was one of our favorites!
