Editorial Standards

The Tampa Journal

Accuracy

Journal stories come from the public record and from our own reporting, and they are verified before they run. Bylines credit whoever did the work — an individual journalist, or one of our newsroom desks like the Data Desk and the Editorial Board. The newsroom works with modern reporting tools, including automation, under the editorial oversight of our publisher.

Corrections

We fix factual errors fast and say so. Spotted one? Email contactus@thetampajournal.com.

Independence

Readers and advertisers fund the Journal. Neither edits it.
