Our mission is to inform, give context and help readers understand not only what is happening, but who is driving it and why it matters.
Why We Cover Tampa Bay Business
Business decisions shape cities.

These changes affect jobs, communities and long-term opportunity.
TBBW exists to report on those changes and the people behind them.
We focus on what is happening now, why it matters and what comes next.
All of our reporting is paywall free because access matters in local news.
We believe informed communities make stronger economies.

How Our Reporting Works
Our reporting is direct and fact-driven.

Our Cover Stories
Our Cover Stories are long-form, reported features that focus on the people behind Tampa Bay’s most influential companies.
These stories go beyond announcements and earnings to examine leadership, decision-making and the personal experiences that shape how businesses are built and led.
Each cover story is centered on one leader and reported in depth, with an emphasis on:
- How leaders think under pressure
- The experiences that shaped their leadership style
- Failures that informed later success
- Personal values behind major business decisions
- How their companies contribute to Tampa Bay’s economic growth
These are not company profiles or sponsored features. They are narrative business journalism, reported with the same standards as our daily news coverage.
Cover story subjects are founders, CEOs and executives who live and work in Tampa Bay and who are building companies with real scale, impact and staying power.
