"The Tampa Tribune" was Tampa's longest-running newspaper, first published in 1895. The Tribune was one of several local daily newspapers serving Tampa in the early 20th century, but after buying the "Tampa Times" in 1958, it became Tampa's main morning daily for the next several decades. (The Tribune published the "Tampa Times" as an afternoon daily until 1982.) In more recent years, "The Trib" published a portfolio of standalone weekly newspapers throughout the region, many of which are still published by the Tampa Bay Times, including the "Plant City Courier & Tribune", "Brandon News & Tribune", "South Shore News & Tribune", "Northeast News & Tribune", "Carrollwood News & Tribune", "South Tampa News & Tribune", "Northwest News & Tribune", "Central Tampa News & Tribune", "The Suncoast News", and the Spanish language "CENTRO Tampa". Stiff competition with the "St. Petersburg" / "Tampa Bay Times" for subscribers and advertising revenue led to several changes of ownership and rounds of layoffs for the "Tampa Tribune" during the 2000s, and in May 2016, the "Tampa Bay Times" bought and folded its main competitor. The Times added some of the Tribune's reporters and columnists to its staff while laying off others as it consolidated operations.
