Daily publication of the Tribune started in 1895 when Wallace Stovall upgraded printing from once a week. In 1958, the struggling evening newspaper, the Tampa Daily Times, was bought out by the Tribune Company and was published until 1982. To this day, the logo for The Tampa Times continue to be displayed in the masthead on the front section, as a way for the Tribune to keep its trademark on the Tampa Times name, and to avoid confusion with the St. Petersburg Times, which publishes an edition for Tampa. In 1966, The Tampa Tribune, along with sister properties WFLA AM, FM and TV, was purchased by Richmond Newspapers, becoming Media General in 1969. Since 2000, the Tribune has partnered with WFLA-TV and TBO.com in a converged arrangement, all connected with one another under owner Media General. The large media complex is located on Parker Street in Downtown Tampa. In December 2009, executive editor Janet Coats left the paper. She has not been replaced yet. The Tampa Tribune also operates Hernando Today and Highlands Today, local offshoots of the Tribune located in Brooksville and Sebring, respectively. |
