The Tampa Bay media market is Florida's second-largest metropolitan area with a variety of print, online and broadcast media outlets serving the region. The U.S. Census Bureau estimates the population for the Tampa-St. Petersburg Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) at 2,733,761 as of July 1, 2008. The Tampa Bay media market also includes Citrus, Manatee, Sarasota and Polk counties.〔(Tampa Bay metro market hits milestone - Tampa Bay Business Journal, July 18, 2007 )〕 Polk County is also served by media from Orlando. ==Newspapers== The two major daily newspapers serving the area are the ''Tampa Bay Times'' and ''The Tampa Tribune''. The ''Tampa Bay Times'' (known as the ''St. Petersburg Times'' from 1898 until January 2012) is the largest newspaper by circulation in the southeastern United States at over 400,000, which is over 50% more than Florida's next largest newspaper, the ''Orlando Sentinel''.〔(ACCESS ABC: eCirc for US Newspapers )〕 It distributes a free Monday-through-Friday tabloid called ''tbt *'' in most areas of Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco counties. ''The Tampa Tribune'' was first published as a daily newspaper in 1895. Besides the main edition, "the Trib" publishes a portfolio of standalone weekly newspapers throughout the region, including the ''Plant City Courier & Tribune'', ''Brandon News & Tribune'', ''South Shore News & Tribune'', ''Northeast News & Tribune'', ''Carrollwood News & Tribune'', ''South Tampa News & Tribune'', ''Northwest News & Tribune'', ''Central Tampa News & Tribune'', ''The Suncoast News'', and the Spanish language ''CENTRO Tampa''. The Tampa Bay area is also served by a variety of regional newspapers and weeklies. ''La Gaceta'' is a weekly trilingual (English, Spanish and Italian) newspaper published in Tampa's historic Ybor City since 1922.〔(La Gaceta Newspaper - History )〕 Two newspapers serve the local black community: the ''Florida Sentinel Bulletin'' (Tampa) and ''The Weekly Challenger'' (St. Petersburg). ''Creative Loafing Tampa'' (also known for a time as the ''Weekly Planet'') is the area's primary alternative weekly. ''The Oracle'' serves the University of South Florida and its surrounding community. The ''Tampa Bay Business Journal'' is the region's business publication of record. The ''Osprey Observer'' is a weekly that serves East Hillsborough County with five separate publications, three of which carry the ''Osprey Observer'' moniker and a fourth, ''The Christian Voice'' that is distributed through local churches. Some lesser-known papers include Tampa Bay Newspapers ''TBNWeekly'' and the ''Tampa Bay Informer''.

They include ''The Bradenton Herald'', ''Sarasota Herald-Tribune'', ''The Ledger'' of Lakeland, ''The News-Chief'' of Winter Haven (published by The Ledger), the ''Citrus County Chronicle'' (based in Inverness), ''Hernando Today'' (based in Brooksville) and ''Highlands Today'' (based in Sebring).
