Tampa Bay Magazine is a bi-monthly lifestyle print magazine published by Tampa Bay Publications, Inc. covering the Tampa Bay area. Tampa Bay Magazine is published six times a year, and it covers a range of topics including politics, business, philanthropy, food, fashion, health, beauty and lifestyle in the cities in and around the Tampa Bay area, including Tampa, Clearwater, and St. Petersburg. History Founded in 1986 by husband and wife publishing team Aaron R. Fodiman and Margart Wood Burnside, Tampa Bay Magazine was designed as a combination of New York Magazine and the Washingtonian magazine. Fodiman, who moved to the Tampa Bay area in the early 1990s having previously lived in Washington, D.C. and in New York City, noticed that the Tampa Bay area did not have any publications about the local lifestyle, restaurants, museums, exhibits and the arts. To fill the need, Fodiman started Tampa Bay Magazine from scratch; Burnside began working there shortly thereafter. They, with a small staff, continue to write, photograph, edit and publish Tampa Bay Magazine. Readership Fodiman and Burnside claim approximately 300,000 people read their magazine, but it is unclear if that figure is monthly or annually. Tampa Bay Magazine has a limited digital presence and does not make its content available on its website.
