On to Tampa and St. Petersburg

From Louisiana to Florida.

Coming next, notes from a site visit to The Tampa Tribune, one of the largest, most respected converged news operations in the country. The paper's daily circulation is about 220,000 and Sunday is 315,000.

The Tribune's News Center houses a newspaper staff of about 300, a TBO.com online staff of about 11 and a TV Channel 8 (NBC affiliate) staff of about 100.

The level of activity in Tampa's converged operation makes the busy Lawrence, Kan., converged newsroom feel like a Greyhound bus station in the middle of the night.

Tampa rocks.

From there to Poynter, a school for journalists, in St. Petersburg, Fla. I'll be attending a seminar on Online Leadership that promises to synthesize many of the ideas of this project.
