MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN FLORIDA

Consolidated chain ownership heavily characterizes the Sunshine State's modern publishing market, contrasting with its early history of independent pioneer presses. The Poynter Institute owns the locally operated Tampa Bay Times, which maintains the highest regional circulation figures. Further south, the McClatchy-owned Miami Herald provides historically extensive coverage of Latin American affairs, while the Orlando Sentinel and the Sun Sentinel in Fort Lauderdale both operate under Tribune Publishing ownership. Given the substantial Hispanic demographic, Spanish-language dailies like El Nuevo Herald and weekly local papers play a critical role in regional media distribution.
