December 15, 2008 at 8:29 am by Wayne GarciaThis morning’s top political and media stories in Tampa Bay, Florida and beyond:
- The Tampa Tribune’s bizarre front-page: We’re not dead! “By organizing the paper as we have, we’ve been able to preserve more space for local content. The Times, which clings to traditional sections as being more important to readers than local news, is stuck with a format that requires reducing local content.”
- Obama’s NASA transition team looks at how to retire the space shuttle in 2010 and what comes next.
- The right-wingers in Tallahassee see a silver lining.
- GOP in-fighting in Fort Myers.
- One paper says the US Sugar deal “not assured;” another says it could be finalized today.
- No change at the top for Florida political parties.
- The speaker of the Florida House of Representatives has no credibility left.
