Year by eventful year, edition by fascinating edition, two of the Tribune's writers -- Bentley Orrick and Harry Crumpacker -- have tied it all together to bring you this spellbinding chroncile. The Tampa Tribune: a Century of Florida Journalism is really two stories -- one, the inner workings of a news-gathering machine and how it got that way; the other, the story of a century of news events as reported and presented by the paper -- global, national, state, and local.

It is a magnificent trip down memory lane, dealing also with the glory days of the Tribune's longtime afternoon rival, The Tampa Daily Times and, later, The Tampa Times.
