''The Tampa Tribune'' is a daily newspaper published in Tampa, Florida. In 1966, the ''Tampa Tribune'', along with sister properties WFLA-AM-FM-TV, was purchased by Richmond Newspapers, becoming Media General in 1969. The ''Tribune'' was a flagship newspaper under the Media General banner until it was sold in 2012. One of two major newspapers published in the Tampa Bay area, the ''Tribune'' is second in circulation and readership to the ''Tampa Bay Times''. The newspaper also publishes a ''St. Petersburg Tribune'' edition, sold and distributed in Pinellas County. The Tampa Tribune also published a Sunday magazine, ''Florida Accent'', during the 1960s and 1970s. 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'' continues 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 ''Tampa Bay Times'', which publishes an edition for Tampa. In 2006, it was decided in a lawsuit that the ''Tribune'' could keep its exclusive use of ''The Tampa Times'' name, but only for five years. This exclusivity ended at the end of 2011, allowing the ''St. Petersburg Times'' to rename itself the ''Tampa Bay Times'', effective January 1, 2012.〔(St. Petersburg Times: "The St. Petersburg Times will become the Tampa Bay Times on Jan. 1", November 1, 2011. )〕 The decision does not restrict the use of ''The Tampa Times'' name by the ''Tribune'' after the expiration of exclusivity – as of January 2012, the ''Tribune'' continues to use ''The Tampa Times'' name in its masthead. 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. Executive editor Janet Coats left the paper in December 2009 and was not replaced until May 17, 2012 when managing editor Richard "Duke" Maas was promoted to executive editor. ''The Tampa Tribune'' also operates ''Highlands Today'', a daily newspaper in Sebring. The Tribune stopped publishing the ''Hernando Today'', which was located in Brooksville, on Dec. 1, 2014, citing "a tough newspaper advertising climate." 〔(Hernando Today:"Hernando Today will stop publishing after Nov. 30," November 6, 2014. )〕 On May 17, 2012, it was announced that investment company Berkshire Hathaway would be acquiring Media General's newspaper division; the purchase does not include the ''Tribune'' or its associated regional papers, which were being retained by Media General.〔(Deadline: "Media General Shares Soar After Warren Buffett Agrees To Buy Its Newspapers", May 17, 2012. )〕 No reason was given as to why Media General was retaining the ''Tribune'', but there was speculation that the paper would be sold to another party, such as Halifax Media Group (which owns several papers in Florida) or a completely different owner, or that the paper would merge with the ''Tampa Bay Times''.〔(Tampa Bay Times: "Warren Buffett-Media General newspaper deal excludes Tampa Tribune", May 18, 2012. )〕 In October 2012, ''The Tampa Tribune'' and its associated print and digital products were acquired by Tampa Media Group, Inc., a new company formed by Revolution Capital Group.〔(ABC News: "The Tampa Tribune Sold to Private Equity Firm", October 8, 2012. )〕 ==Awards== The ''Tampa Tribune'' won a Pulitzer Prize in 1966 for local investigative specialized reporting. The award went to John Anthony Frasca for his "investigation and reporting of two robberies that resulted in the freeing of an innocent man." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Tampa Tribune」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
