What do we do?

The Tampa Bay Times, winner of 12 Pulitzer Prizes, is the most trusted news source serving the bay area. We are story tellers and truth tellers. We go where the facts take us to tell the definitive story of the Tampa Bay area. We cover a variety of topics of interest – from state and local politics and municipal governments to health and the environment; from growth and development to technology and finance; from food and music to museums and culture; and all our major sports teams. We have the largest investigative reporting and enterprise reporting teams in the state. As we note on our “Connect with Us” page, we view our job as a calling. It's our passion to find news that's relevant to our community and to share it with you while bringing context that can help our readers make sense of our world.
