"The Tampa Tribune," published in Tampa, Florida, is one of two major newspapers published in the Tampa Bay area, second in circulation and readership to the "St. Petersburg Times". The paper's tagline is "Life. Printed Daily." The "Tribune", as well as the "Richmond Times-Dispatch", are the flagship newspapers under the Media General banner.

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. The Tampa Tribune would eventually be purchased by Media General Corp.

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.

"The Tampa Tribune"'s editorial leanings are decidedly conservative to moderate, as opposed to the aforementioned "Times", its generally liberal to moderate competitor.

The current executive editor of the paper is Janet Coats. "The Tampa Tribune" also operates "Hernando Today" and "Highlands Today", local offshoots of the "Tribune" located in Brooksville and Sebring, respectively.
