Newspaper readers become leaders.

By donating to Tampa Bay Times Newspaper in Education, you help us nurture lifelong readers, engaged and informed citizens and future community leaders.

Research shows that using the newspaper as an educational resource:

  • Improves literacy and critical thinking skills

  • Develops the habit of lifelong reading

  • Encourages young people to be civically engaged

Share the news: A little bit goes a long way. With your help, we can keep our students and teachers supplied with vital educational resources. We thank you for your contribution.

“It's important to remember that the future of quality journalism is not dependent on the future of newspapers. The discussion needs to move from "How do we save newspapers?" to "How do we save and strengthen journalism?" - however it is delivered.”

Arianna Huffington Journalist

“Local newspapers play a critical role in our communities, making us all stronger and more engaged citizens. Newspapers are dedicated to keeping you informed. Whether it is a local issue or a worldwide pandemic, they are there to provide consistent news coverage that you can trust.”

Jim Fogler  CEO, Florida Press Association
