OUR MISSION

Our mission as a news organization traces back to our founding in 1884: to report the truth and contribute to an informed society. That mission depends on maintaining our credibility within the community. To earn the trust of readers, staffers of the Tampa Bay Times have an obligation to be accurate, fair and ethical. These principles are central to our efforts to uphold the integrity and reputation of the Times.
