We may have lost our newsroom in last year's hurricane, but Tampa Bay Times journalists are still here for you.
Dozens of our reporters, photographers and editors live in the same neighborhoods they cover. Every day, they fan out to schools, county commission meetings and courtrooms, hop on boats or knock on doors to get information that keeps our community informed.
And as we work to find a new office, we are bringing our newsroom to you.
For the month of June, you can find some of our staffers working from a space at Armature Works in Tampa every Tuesday.
We're calling it News & Brews: Grab a coffee from one of Armature Works' vendors and stop by to say hi. We'd love to hear your story ideas and tips about what's happening in your part of Tampa Bay.
We'll be set up from noon to 4 p.m. on June 3, June 10, June 17 and June 24.
We may continue this in other locations in future months, as well.
Look for the following staffers and others:
Mark Katches, editor of the Tampa Bay Times
Colbi Edmonds, Tampa Bay regional reporter
Emily L. Mahoney, energy reporter
Michael Van Sickler, managing editor/news and engagement
Kirby Wilson, senior politics reporter
Michelle Stark, culture editor
Max Chesnes, environment and climate reporter
Teghan Simonton, data reporter/economy and health
Allison Ross, assistant managing editor/local news
Helen Freund, food and dining critic
