readers. Times Events are exhibitions around the Tampa Bay area presented by the Times. They include home shows and job fairs. PolitiFact is an online journalistic undertaking that ferrets out the truth in American politics. It won the Pulitzer for national reporting in 2009. The Times owned and published an evening newspaper, the Evening Independent, from 1962 until its closure in 1986. Issues of the Evening Independent are available for viewing on Google News Archive. On May 3, 2016, the Times Publishing Company announced the purchase of the Times' competing newspaper, The Tampa Tribune, from Revolution Capital Group, saying it intends to create one financially secure, locally owned daily newspaper in the Tampa Bay region. The Times ended publication of the Tribune on that day. The Times' acquisition of the Tribune also includes the following publications, which will continue publishing: Highlands Today, a daily newspaper serving Highlands County, Florida, previously issued as a supplement of the Tribune. The Suncoast News, a chain of weekly neighborhood newspapers in Pasco and northern Pinellas Counties. Centro, a weekly Spanish-language newspaper. Highlands Today was sold and closed later in 2016.
