Tina Landrith-Mills
Founder of Breaking The News Barrier — a rapid-response news hub built for real people in real moments. Tina’s mission is simple: keep readers plugged into the signal when headlines move fast, storms hit hard, and the mainstream scroll starts feeling like noise.
BTNB is also the anchor for a growing network: Radio Across America (local stations + state pages), OTVNet (indie film + creator spotlight), and Raw Guts Records (music culture + discovery). Old-school grit, new-school tools.
Founder • Publisher • BuilderTony Landrith
Tony Landrith joins Breaking The News Barrier as Co-Founder — bringing the steady hand of a systems builder, a utility-technology mind, and the kind of infrastructure thinking that keeps a network alive when the signal matters most.
Publicly available records connect Tony to Tacoma Public Utilities technology leadership, including utility technology services, project governance, infrastructure, cybersecurity, and large-scale digital operations. That background fits the BTNB mission: build fast, resilient platforms that help people find news, radio, weather, and emergency signal without getting buried in noise.
Tony and Tina Landrith-Mills also represent something deeper in this newsroom story: twin builders raised around technology, grit, signal, and old-school problem solving — the kind of background that turns a website into a living public-service platform.
- Infrastructure mindset: systems, uptime, reliability, and operational planning.
- Cybersecurity lens: safer platforms, cleaner workflows, and trust-first digital architecture.
- Emergency-signal fit: the BTNB / Radio Across America mission of fast access to news, radio, and weather.
